Exhibited works:

Dolo, 2024 

Growing Up, 2023 

“My work often lives in that inbetween space where power and vulnerability coexist. In these images, I explore themes of adolescence, Black womanhood, and the experience of growing up as a Black girl. I’m also interested in the relationship between movement and identity, especially through the lens of sport, fashion, strength, and grace.

I draw a lot from my own life experiences, and a big part of what drives me is the need for greater representation. I want to see real people, real bodies, and especially real Black girls reflected in the media.

My practice is fueled by a deep desire to feel joy and have fun — it’s about chasing a kind of eternal happiness that I’m always looking for. I hope the colors, the subtle bits of irony or humor in some of my images can make someone smile or laugh. Ultimately, I want the work to connect with people in a real, emotional way.”

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.
