Akinbode Akinbiyi (Oxford, 1946. Lives in Berlin) is a photographer and itinerant artist who roams urban spaces, attentive to everyday life and its subtle layers. Inspired by the inversion of the autobiography title I Wonder as I Wander, by Langston Hughes — a poet, novelist, playwright, and social activist — he adopts “wander to wonder” as a guiding principle of his practice. His walks become acts of listening and contemplation, seeking to understand the world through images. His photographs evoke visual laments and intuitive resonances from a time yet to come. He has participated in the FotoFest Biennial (Houston, 2020), documenta 14 (Kassel, 2017), and the exhibition Creative Africa (Philadelphia Museum of Art, 2016), among others.

This participation is supported by the British Council and Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen – IFA.
