Passage — a song.
Akinbode Akinbiyi Abrie Fourie
9. September — 8. October 2023
“Passage—a song.” is an exhibition of works by Nigerian-British photographer Akinbode Akinbiyi and South African artist Abrie Fourie, both based in Berlin. The project started during the artists’ stay at Christoph Schlingenschief’s Opera Village in Burkina Faso. It continued as a collaboration between Musée de la Musique Georges OUEDRAOGO de Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso and the project space SCHARAUN, Berlin. The curatorial emphasis turns the focus to the idea of sound in photography. What do we hear? Can we hear the stories that emanate from the visual information? Are we projecting from our memories? Can we hear the noise of the place or the deafening silence?
