Digital[edit]

Stocktown video magazine[edit]

As of spring 2011, Stocktown is a curated video magazine and platform[30] on which over 40 video curators worldwide contribute to the magazine's content[31]. The mission of Stocktown is to spotlight inspiring video content and document the alternative urban and street culture[32]. Apart from fresh independent content, Stocktown's video curators provide a write-up in which they explain the context of their chosen videos in categories that span from documentaries, dance, fashion, art, music to other aspects of culture[33].

Afripedia[edit]

Teddy Goitom and Senay Berhe are the co-founders of Afripedia, which was launched in 2019. Afripedia is the creative industry tool designed for talent search[4]. Afripedia is a space of equal access to film, fashion, and design opportunities, where brands, corporations, and creatives can find talent and inject more diversity into an otherwise homogeneous culture and media industry[34]. Afripedia was born out of the documentary series Afripedia[35] that chronicled a new generation of African creatives. After filming the documentary series and realizing that there are so many African creatives with less access to opportunities[36], the co-founders Teddy Goitom and Senay Berhe came up with an idea to create a platform on which this gap could be bridged[37].

Co-founders Teddy Goitom and Senay Berhe participated in an incubator program New Museum, New Inc. in New York, in 2015-2017[38].

In an interview with Art Africa magazine Teddy Goitom stated that there would be many innovative projects that share Afripedia’s goal; to empower artists and increase the representation of people of African descent working in creative industries[36]

In 2020, Afripedia won the Swedish Design Awards Design S for the best digital platform.[8]
