WE EXAMINE IT.
01

The people

We look beyond the finished work to understand the people creating it, their experiences and the ideas shaping their practice.

02

The work

We document the work itself — from fashion and music to film, visuals, technology and the wider creative industries.

03

The context

We examine the cultural, social and technological forces influencing contemporary Nigerian creativity.

04

The wider world

We follow Nigerian creativity wherever it takes form, including the communities and creators shaping culture across the diaspora.

05/The FORM234 principle

If a story helps us understand Nigerian creativity, culture, the people behind it or the forces shaping it, it belongs in FORM234's world.
