Photographer and writer Johny Pitts presents 'Black Bricolage' at MEP Studio, a visual essay spanning two decades of work documenting Black life across European cities like Paris, Lisbon, and Berlin. The exhibition utilizes a mix of photography, personal notes, and lived encounters to map the 'Afropean' experience, focusing on the quiet textures of daily life rather than grand spectacles.
The exhibition is significant for its refusal to treat Black identity as a peripheral addition to European history, instead positioning it as a central, shaping force of the continent's contemporary landscape. By blending image and text, Pitts creates a radical cartography that challenges traditional colonial narratives and offers a fluid, intimate perspective on migration and cultural exchange.
