Johny Pitts

The British author and photographer Johny Pitts received multiple awards for his acclaimed essay Afropean (2019). In it, he explores Black Europe with words and photographs through a travelogue format, highlighting the significance of ”Afropean“ culture. Out of his journey emerged a wider theoretical framework he calls the B-Side, which examines creative expressions that circumnavigate the mainstream, often emerging within subcultures. In a world of algorithms and tech monopolies, his goal is to bring art and artists from the margins to the forefront, making visible those who are often overlooked – much like the B-side of hit singles on vinyl records. As part of BuchBasel, Johny Pitts will curate and moderate a series of discussions centred around this B-Side theme.
