Emerging Nigerian Visual Art Platform ‘Drofu’ Seeks to Empower Both Artists and Audiences.
Run by its founder Nnamdi Nwoha, Drofu is a platform that initially began as a place for Nwoha to publish his original art projects.
Expanding beyond his own work, Nwoha now intends to develop Drofu into a space where visual art is created by Nigerians that resonates specifically with the country’s urban youth. In a nation that has a diverse and incredibly valuable artistic history, spread across various ethnicities and cultures, Drofu brings this into perspective by merging rich traditional aesthetics with more current influences - a hybrid that mirrors the cross-cultural experiences of their intended demographic.
In developing Drofu as an online space, it provides both a liberating and empowering platform for the artists involved. This enables them to generate art that serves a purpose beyond commerciality.
“All of our art pieces are distributed for free from our website as wallpaper art for phone and tablet screens. Occasionally, we also print some of the art pieces on t-shirts and sell them in order to keep operations going. At any point in time, we sell only one t-shirt design on www.drofu.com in very limited quantities. When that design sells out, we never reprint it so as to preserve some level of exclusivity for the people who buy it.”
The above images are all separately themed with the exception of the very top one. Titled ‘Akisi,’ it is part of a series titled 'Dressed To Kill’ - a visual exploration of the idea/belief that Nigerians are 'fashion killers’.
The 'Bini Aviators’ t-shirt design is currently on sale on the site.

The peace on this face is amazing ( inspiration)
There aren’t enough black people depicted in neo-classical art so when I saw this I was like 0.0

Quote
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.
Anne Frank (via 3sth3r19)

Proud moment
I’m Falissia a congolese who use drawing to promote her culture. Since I’m congolese my style is very much influence by kinshasa street drawings, those drawings are not graffiti but they are simple drawing of faces or people on the street wall. I give each of my drawing traditional names in lingala which is congolese language. Each name which have a story to tell behind it. So if to give a title I will call it Kitoko style (kitoko means nice, beautiful and good in lingala) a current word used in the street in kinshasa.
