We’re a collective dedicated to showcasing and celebrating art in all its forms. Your art. We are a hub for African writers, creators, and artists to coalesce, gain inspiration, and share their creations with the world, free of the rigidity imposed on us by traditionalistic expectations and our state lines. The world is becoming increasingly globalized, and as the digital space and real-world merge, barriers to once elusive sub-cultures dictated by one’s position in the world are beginning to crumble. As a result, more people have the chance to develop identities that diverge beautifully from the status quo and the ones crafted for them by their forefathers. As beneficiaries, we feel that a space dedicated to documenting this beautiful becoming is important and necessary. Synergy was envisioned as a sort of anthology and can be likened to an album or archive dedicated to chronicling the gradual transformation of our cohort; one fighting furiously to break the mold left for us by those that preceded us and forge a new path undergirded by the unapologetic expression and celebration of the self, identity and experience.

Synergy is for you. It is your playground; Your cheerleader; Your vanguard in a world that wants to strip you of your creativity and have you conform. We want to be an anthology you find yourself reflected in. We want to be a physical collection of your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
