Irin Journal
Taking its meaning from the Yoruba word for “walk” and “journey”, ìrìn journal explores African culture through travel, people and community by focusing on a different African city for each issue. Covering stories from food to fashion, history, art, design, film and more. The concept is simple: to inform and educate our readers, by documenting these diverse cultures and therefore inspiring them to explore.
