The Integrity Generation: Reimagining Nigeria Through Art
Young Nigerians are flipping the script – rising from adversity with courage, creativity, and conscience. Through tech, music, film, art, and much more, this generation is changing the story of Nigeria – from a tale of corruption to one of slow but steady transformation.
To celebrate Integrity Organisation’s 30th Anniversary, we’re calling on bold, brilliant Nigerian creatives – visual artists, digital creatives, poets, photographers, designers, writers, and spoken word performers to share powerful, original works that reflect:
The pain and pressure of surviving Nigeria’s corruption crisis
The boldness of pushing through
The beauty of truth, innovation, hope, and resilience
And the kind of future we’re building together – one where integrity leads
What We’re Looking For:
We want art that:
Shows how young Nigerians are flipping the script
Reflects courage, truth, and the power of ideas
Challenges corruption, sparks hope, and dreams big for Nigeria
Ask yourself:
What does integrity mean in your world?
What does justice look like where you live?
How can art inspire change, even in hard times?
Whether it’s a painting, poem, digital artwork, or spoken word – if it’s honest and powerful, we want to see it.
Now, it’s your turn to tell that story
