We'd like to start off 2024 appreciating some of our favourite photo collaborations of 2023. We launched Kenga Magazine with the intention of documenting African Gen Z culture on the continent and in the diaspora, and since inception we have collaborated with 200+ talented creatives from around the world to bring our publication to life.

"While we love every single one of our collaborations, these ten from 2023 stood out to us because of how much they challenged us to think, act, and create differently than we'd been used to. They helped us expand our creative possibilities at Kenga, and we're looking for more of such in 2024." – , publisher at Kenga

NBDA's () new slides hit the streets of Lagos with a bang with the distinct colour engineered by NBDA's Design Lab. In conversation with Kenga, NBDA shared that: "This distinctive colorway juxtaposes the purity of snow with the creamy elegance of polar bear fur, aptly earning its name: Arctic White. The design reflects our fascination with polar bears, their ability to manipulate their coloration, and seamlessly blend into their surroundings.

This adaptation enables them to not only survive but thrive in one of the planet's most extreme environments. By infusing the essence of polar bears into the Technical Slides, we pay homage to their resilience and magnificence."
