Akinbode Akinbiyi: Being, Seeing, Wandering

In the organizer's words:

Whether in Lagos, Bamako, Berlin or São Paulo, Akinbode Akinbiyi (*1946 Oxford, UK) explores the world's major cities for his street photography. His images are visual metaphors that address cultural change and social exclusion as well as the socio-political and urban planning consequences of colonialism. This content is also symbolized by the long-term series "African Quarter", which has been created in the Berlin district of Wedding since the 1990s.

In 2024, photographer and author Akinbode Akinbiyi, who has been working in Berlin since 1991, was awarded the Hannah Höch Prize for his extensive oeuvre. The central aspects of his life's work will be presented in a solo exhibition with over 130 works.
