#CulturePays supports African culture workers with opportunities, workshops, and research.
It’s an offshoot from Studio Styles, Immaculata’s art and research project space.
The Culture Pay Report (2025) contains insight and forecasts from 388 survey responses and 4 in-depth interviews to map out what it costs to keep culture alive in Nigeria today.
It was produced with three goals: to inform aspiring and current industry workers on the pay landscape; to promote financial transparency in the industry; and to start a pivotal conversation on how we can collectively improve pay levels in the industry.
Here are other projects from the Studio Styles ecosystem:
Sweet Medicine: a research and advocacy project for social healing in Nigeria through research and practice in the humanities and social sciences. Listen to the first season (23 episodes with essays and conversations) or the second season (8 episodes on Nigerians’ relationships with fear and God).:
The Restful anthology: a collection of essays, interviews and photographs from Nigerians on how they are navigating stress and respite in our lives/country today.
