TTYBrand Africa Magazine has officially announced the release of Issue 7, a forward-looking edition that explores how African creatives are using artificial intelligence to challenge stereotypes, reclaim cultural narratives, and shape the future of the continent through bold digital expression.

True to its mission of amplifying authentic African voices and driving narrative change, TTYBrand Africa Magazine continues to position itself as a leading platform for innovation, creativity, and African excellence. Issue 7 captures a pivotal cultural moment, highlighting a new wave of artists who are merging technology with tradition to expand how Africa is represented and understood globally.

At the center of this edition is Malik Afegbua, a filmmaker and creative technologist whose work is redefining African storytelling in the digital age. Widely known for his viral Elder Series, Malik used artificial intelligence to reimagine African elders in regal, futuristic fashion, igniting global conversations around ageism, dignity, and inclusivity. His groundbreaking work on Makemation, Africa’s first AI-centered feature film, further underscores his role in placing African creativity at the forefront of global conversations on technology, film, and culture.

Also featured on the cover is Vlady Dupuy, professionally known as Wuh.ey, a Franco-Togolese visual artist and AI researcher whose work is redefining African identity through dreamlike, symbolic digital art. By blending fashion, ancestral motifs, and generative AI, Wuh.ey creates visuals that do not replace tradition but extend it. His viral artwork featuring gold mask-inspired grillz sparked international dialogue, demonstrating how digital art can carry deep cultural meaning while resonating with global audiences.

With tools such as generative visuals, custom AI models, and speculative design, creatives like Malik Afegbua and Vlady Dupuy are pushing back against cultural erasure and offering new, unapologetically bold visions of Africa. Their work reflects a broader movement of African artists who are reclaiming space, rewriting narratives, and empowering the next generation of storytellers to imagine the future on their own terms.

Issue 7 of TTYBrand Africa Magazine stands as a celebration of innovation, identity, legacy, and liberation, spotlighting a generation of African creatives who are reshaping representation and redefining Africa’s place in the global creative and digital economy. As artificial intelligence continues to influence art and culture worldwide, this edition positions Africa not as a follower, but as a powerful contributor to the future of creative technology.

The digital edition of TTYBrand Africa Magazine Issue 7 is now available for download, inviting readers across the world to engage with African stories that are bold, future-facing, and proudly rooted in cultural excellence.
