Wilame Lima

Wilame Lima is a Brazilian-born French artist whose work explores the dynamics of transit and accessibility for racialized communities. Throughout his career, he has transitioned from journalistic photography to a style marked by dreamlike surrealism. This shift highlights his critique of neutrality in the media and his valorization of identity, tackling racism, homophobia, and xenophobia through a poetic yet political lens. For Wilame, photography is a means of both liberation and therapy, advocating the visibility and inclusion of marginalized individuals. His background in journalism and data science, along with his artistic forays into urban photography and images generated by artificial intelligence, support his mission to democratize perspectives and promote debates.
