In light of Pride Amsterdam 2025, Foam is proud to present Black Queer Archiving: Questioned at the Intersection by darkroom & fine art photographic artist Ajamu X in collaboration with guest curator J.G. Basdew.

The exhibition reflects on the importance of black queer archiving, with a specific focus on photography and lens-based practices, while exploring the position that black queer image-makers currently occupy within the Dutch photographic and cultural landscape.

Renowned British artist, activist, and archivist, Ajamu X, has been invited to create new work specifically for this occasion. His selection is deeply intentional: Ajamu X previously lived in Ganzenhoef, studied in Maastricht (Jan van Eyck), and has a long-standing familiarity with the Dutch cultural context. His artistic practice offers a rich foundation for reflecting on themes such as queer intimacy, Black bodies, and archiving from both a personal and collective perspective.
