Hosted by Billy Fowo
The Vilanismo collective and artist Akinbode Akinbiyi are continuing a conversation that began during the 36th São Paulo Biennial. They are coming together once again to examine photography through the lens of ‘black light’.
The discussion navigates questions of the image, memory, territory and lived experience, and explores photography as a space for encounter, resistance and collective self-affirmation.
The conversation takes place in the Sylvia Wynter Foyer, amidst Akinbiyi’s photographic installation, originally commissioned for the 36th São Paulo Biennial in 2025.
- The discussion will be moderated by curator and author Billy Fowo of SAVVY Contemporary.
- From 11 September to 22 November 2026, SAVVY Contemporary will host an exhibition featuring works by Vilanismo.
- Part of *Not All Travellers Follow Paths – Humanity as Practice*, 36th São Paulo Biennial, Berlin Edition.
