History

Afrocritik was established by Nigerian lawyers Samson Jikeme and Owanate Max-Harry in June 2021 with headquarters in Lagos and Los Angeles.[1] The website started as a blog where the founders shared their own critiques and analysis of African literature, music, film, and other art forms.[2][3][4]

As of 2023, Sybil Fekurumoh is the current managing editor.[2]

Afrocritik focuses on music, fashion, film, art, events and politics with its audience being mainly young people of Africa and the African diaspora.[2][4] It publishes end of the year listicles on music and literature such as "Top 25 Albums", "33 Remarkable African Short Stories", "15 Notable Essays in Nigeria".[5]
