In his first monograph, Lagos-based photographer Stephen Tayo turns his lens on the devotees of the Aladura movement, a strand of Yoruba Pentecostal Christianity born in the 1910s and '20s. Shot in black and white, a striking departure from the colour he's known for, the series is drawn to the movement's defining visual language: flowing white robes, elaborate headwear, and bare feet moving through the streets of Lagos.

Known as sutana, aso-funfun, or simply "the garment," the white robe carries meaning that runs deep, rooted in Christian scripture as much as in Yoruba cosmology, where white (funfun) belongs to Obatala, orisha of purity and creation.

Published alongside Tayo's first solo exhibition with FF Projects, on view at Alára, Lagos through September 20, 2026, the book includes an introductory essay by Fikayo Adebajo and a Q&A with the artist.
