DAUGHTERS OF THE RIFT. Throughout African history beadwork has consistently played an integral role in how different communities express their unique concepts of beauty. In a deliberate effort to expand the boundaries of historical representation, "DAUGHTERS OF THE RIFT" emerges as part of an ongoing Afrofuturist portrait series. This series envisions the Great Rift Valley without borders and how a beadwork expressive tribe emerges from the engagement of different communities residing in the Great Rift Valley, which spans from Eritrea to Mozambique.

We’re excited to share our very first film 🎥🎬 This project is playful, expressive, and rooted in real emotion. Starring @nirbasbeauty , @_ayo.65 , and @__muria . The story lives in the small moments, the looks, the pauses, the energy that happens when people truly connect. It’s fun, honest, and visually bold. Directed by @guthua_ugo and our executive producer @youngmuraya , this film marks the beginning of our journey into storytelling through cinema. It also sets the tone for Halo Magazine — Issue 001, where movement, emotion, and creative expression take center stage. Both the film and Issue 001 explore the same idea: capturing feeling, celebrating presence, and telling stories that feel alive. This is our first film. And we’re just getting started.

*NEW WORK* 2 Film is a collaborative effort towards a particular dream. This brief was different and interesting—we needed to go a bit wild on colours, lighting, makeup, etc. My highlight was how the African, and especially our main character, was portrayed differently from past narratives. A BIG THANK YOU TO THE DREAMERS 🙏🏿.
