Our Story


At Stone & Sahara, we explore the cultural life of African cities.

Stone & Sahara was created from the belief that African cities deserve to be engaged with thoughtfully, slowly, and culturally. We see cities as living archives shaped by memory, creativity, and everyday life. Through thoughtfully curated cultural publications and correspondence, we invite you into a more considered way of seeing African cities.

City Guides: Collectible cultural guides to individual African cities. Designed to be your cultural guide to museums, galleries, bookstores, films, music, architecture, objects, heritage and cultural spaces. Perfect for the culturally curious travelers, returnees and residents alike.

City Letters: An ongoing collectible series exploring African cities sent to you every month via snail mail. Each letter is designed as a portable archive, created to be collected, kept and returned to over time. /
