Dakar Fashion Week turns twenty-five this December. Adama Paris launched it in 2002 and has staged it every year since, building one of the continent’s longest-running fashion weeks. Guzangs partners with Dakar Fashion Week as publication of record for the anniversary year, with editorial coverage of the December program and a series of gatherings leading up to it.

Video: DFW 2025 by @alex_photography2310 for Guzangs.

“The helmet becomes symbolic… not of a heritage left behind, but of one that lives now, one that you must choose to wear.”

For our debut digital cover, we traveled to Tamale with NFL linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah—not to talk football, but to trace what it means to return.

Rooted in Ghana, his story isn’t about choosing sides. It’s about legacy worn like armor, fashion as testimony, and the soul’s journey home.

In Ethiopia’s walled city of Harar, the traditional home known as the gegar is built around a single idea: that the wall is where a family keeps its record. Handwoven baskets and enameled platters cover every surface, arranged from floor to ceiling in registers so dense they read as one continuous surface.

Most of it is women’s work, much of it brought into the household at marriage, and the composition is understood locally as a measure of taste and standing.

Harar Jugol has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2006, though its interiors remain largely unwritten about outside Ethiopia.

Roland-Garros qualifying begins tomorrow. Valdes Tita grew up in Cameroon and didn’t watch tennis. He learned about Yannick Noah by accident, bedridden after foot surgery in his aunt’s apartment in the United States, looking up a name he half-recognized. He felt the way you feel when a relative has done something significant and the world informed you before your own family did.

In 2015 he flew to Paris during the tournament to find out how a boy from Yaoundé had ended up holding the Coupe des Mousquetaires. The story begins in Yaoundé in February 1971. Arthur Ashe was on an exhibition tour. An eleven-year-old was hitting clean returns with a wooden board his father had cut into the shape of a racket.

Forty-three years after Noah’s 1983 title, he is still the last French man to have won the tournament.

On the Andoni River, in Rivers State, Nigeria, the day begins before the city is awake. The photographer Chukwudi Nwachukwu spent several mornings on the water with the men who fish it — the long hours of stillness, the catch, the trade at the bank, the slow return to shore.

“The river is the only employer that has not closed,” he says.

“The Labour of Rivers” is now on view in The Guzangs Eye, our visual archive. See the full series at the link in bio.

In Nigeria, the way a woman dresses has never been left to her alone. Colonial rule, religion, and state power have all had a hand in it.

N’Dobine, a short film by Ahmad Cissé (@cixixix.night.skin), premiered May 11 at Lincoln Center as part of the New York African Film Festival. The film draws from Odinala, the Igbo cosmological system, and follows the passage from belief into the practice that belief asks for. “Heavy was the word from above,” the tagline reads, “the birds carried its weight.” Cissé describes the project as a record of his own monologues, an inquiry into how the actions a person takes on spiritual instinct can return them, eventually, to the reasoning behind them.

The Brooklyn-based filmmaker was born in Sénégal and co-founded Jollof Films and the Pan-African collective WESHHH before turning his camera on the question that gives N’Dobine its shape: what happens when a spiritual conviction is followed all the way to its source.

Cinematography is by Kevin “GK” Frederick, with accessories by Nneoma Angel of Angel’s Jewelry New York and an original score featuring Kamauu, Aveiri Fanfair on drums and Malang Jobarteh on kora. Sound design is by Kenneth Misael Pineda. The cast is led by Jay McKenzie, Kadia Ba, Kayra Theodore and Papi Diagn.

In Osu, Accra, a clay tennis court sits inside Ghana’s first precast rammed-earth enclosure. Backyard Community Club, designed by @derocheprojects, was commissioned by @amoakoboafo, the painter who grew up in Osu, where he played tennis as a young man before becoming one of Ghana’s most prominent contemporary artists.

Thirty-three wedge-shaped panels, four metres high, wrap the regulation court, with a 230-square-metre garden of edible and medicinal plants running along one edge. Lessons are free for local children under eighteen.

Beauty is one of the fastest-growing consumer categories on the African continent and across the diaspora. The capital reaching the founders building inside it is not keeping pace.

In our latest, Oury Sene (@ceedalstudio)reports on what determines which brands scale and which do not, from manufacturing infrastructure and pricing perception to retail access and the geographies institutional capital still treats as peripheral.

Andile Dyalvane (@andiledyalvane) is doing the same thing from a studio in Cape Town, coiling Eastern Cape river clay by hand and carving it with marks drawn from Xhosa scarification. Vessels from his 2024 OoNomathotholo: Ancestral Whispers show at Friedman Benda are sold by inquiry. A Rie pot from the 1970s runs $14,000 at Graham Shay 1857.
