As a means of documenting the present for the future, the use of current newspaper cutouts for collages has played an important role in my works. This painting is an abstract depiction of a part of the aim of an NGO who sort for support for women's rights. Vision Spring Initiative (VSI), a non-governmental organisation, held a roundtable with journalists in Lagos on the role of the traditional media in advancing the rights of vulnerable women and girls in the country.
A Media Interaction with Vision Spring Initiatives on The Rights Of Women And Girls Made Vulnerable by Laws, Policies and Practices; the organisation, in a release, stated that “Every individual is entitled to respect for the dignity of the person and accordingly, no person shall be subjected to torture and inhuman or degrading treatment.”
Due to it's importance, this story of this action was archived in this work and also to serve it's contribution to the support of women's rights.
Major take-aways from the dialogue were calls on the media to support CSOs’ efforts at ensuring respect for the dignity of every citizen; condemn the action of law enforcement officers, who violate the rights of Nigerians made vulnerable by laws and policies, leading to their abuse and in some cases, jungle justice; and a commitment by journalists present to help further reshape the narratives, working especially with the non-traditional media, such as movies makers and other make belief media.

Aluu Prosper is a contemporary Nigerian painter. His usually stylized figures show the use of the artistic devices of elongation and exaggeration, as well as his unique style of painting the iconic afro hairstyle. These are his ways of celebrating and negotiating African identity. In traditional African art visual codes, the exaggeration of the head in comparison to other parts of the body is a well-known visual strategy to establish the head as the seat of wisdom and intellectual prowess according to the beliefs in parts of Africa. Prosper plays with the size, forms and presentation of the head of the figures in his paintings as a visual pun to challenge what he considers a one-sided narrative about the size of the head in traditional African art. His style of painting rich afro hairstyle and golden crowns on the heads of his figures are meant to ennoble and dignify the subjects in his work.

Prosper's work does not aim to rehearse the negative stereotypes in African people's relationship with other races; instead, he strives to look beyond negative experiences by painting luscious images of the African people resplendent in beautiful apparel and striking pieces of diadem. By using Nigerian newspapers in his works, he tells stories of the past by preserving stories of the present. While he focuses on black identity, with this he believes that in order to preserve culture, he must continue to create it. Aluu Prosper exhibited his works in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Japan, South Africa.
