THE MANIFESTO

We do not seek fame. We do not seek success. We do not seek validation. Disciples of our own abilities. We defy those to say that we cannot, that we are too old, too young, too different, too much, too little. We seek the choice to choose the journey and live beneath a firmament of possibilities of our own creation.
We do not crack the ceiling. We remove the roof for everyone because time is not a solitary path from life and death. It is a circle of inspiration passed from generation to generation. So stop the clock. Do not accept the gospel of those who don't. Create, inspire, lend. Lend not when to stop, but when to go, when to strike, afraid or unafraid. Our assistance may be finite, but example can be infinite.
We're not born timeless. We become timeless.

The manifesto

We do not seek fame. We do not seek success. We do not seek validation. Disciples of our own abilities. We defy those to say that we cannot, that we are too old, too young, too different, too much, too little. We seek the choice to choose the journey and live beneath a firmament of possibilities of our own creation.
We do not crack the ceiling. We remove the roof for everyone because time is not a solitary path from life and death. It is a circle of inspiration passed from generation to generation. So stop the clock. Do not accept the gospel of those who don't. Create, inspire, lend. Lend not when to stop, but when to go, when to strike, afraid or unafraid. Our assistance may be finite, but example can be infinite.
We're not born timeless. We become timeless.

So let us mark the passage of our own time by those who defy it. We do not seek fame. We do not seek success.
We do not seek validation.

About
Prince Gyasi

The Ghanaian-born and based visual artist Prince Gyasi, who reached fame with his vibrant and powerful images, mostly shot in his hometown of Accra, is to photograph the 2024 Pirelli Calendar.
The 28-year-old, who has risen rapidly to global prominence, employs bold colours and contrast in his art. His images tell visual stories that capture the atmosphere and vibrancy of his community and generation while aiming to challenge traditional narratives about Africa, elitism in art and western-centered ideals of beauty.
Although his equipment choices now extend to state-of-the-art cameras, Gyasi started taking photographs at age 16 using a smartphone.
