from the series “Beautiful Resistance”

“Beautiful Resistance is a beautiful way to protest against the systems of power that continue to oppress and make life difficult for young Nigerians, especially minority groups. For the first time in a long time, in October 2020, this generation experienced a unified outcry against the government and its oppressive systems. Everyone put aside their differences and we all bonded over our shared vision of an ideal Nigeria. It was remarkably beautiful yet sorrowful to experience, because of all the lives lost fighting for that dream.”

GEN Z: SHAPING A NEW GAZE

Duration: May 9–August 30, 2026

Gen Z, one generation, countless perspectives: the exhibition presents works by over 40 photographers from 25 countries born between the 1990s and 2010. Their works reflect experiences shaped by digital worlds, social change and global crises. Across four thematic sections, the exhibition offers insights into the realities, concerns and aspirations of young people. Themes such as identity, belonging, the body and gender are explored creatively, questioned and reimagined through new forms of self-understanding.
