I STOLE WARHOL’S S***
Cemented in the landscape of Newham and the ethos of class-conscious creation, ‘I STOLE WARHOL’S S***’ marks the evolution of Dillon Kalyabe’s multidisciplinary practice.
Curated by Shakyrah Lodge of Photofusion’s Creators’ Studio, the exhibition brings a defiant reimagining of contemporary art to Brixton through the lens of ‘Newham’s Oracle.’
The show unveils a debut collection of 100 canvas works, Kalyabe’s newest publication and more. Hijacking the visual language of mass production, specifically Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup series, Iconic pop-art movements are repurposed to serve as a vehicle for working-class preservation. He strips away the polish of existing masterworks to build a cultural iconography library for the overlooked; an act of reclaiming the archive to ensure the community are no longer just the subjects of art, but the authors of it. Paying homage through disruption.

Bibby Boys - collaboration As Practice
The Photography Foundation x Photofusion present:
Bibby Boys — Collaboration as Practice
This free public talk brings together photographers Thomas Ralph and Theo McInnes, alongside one of the men formerly housed on the Bibby Stockholm barge, Rojyar Khezri, who features in the work.
Centred on the exhibition Bibby Boys, the conversation will explore collaboration from initial pitch through to public exhibition. Developed as part of the Photography Foundation Grant — supporting socially engaged documentary practice — the project reflects on creative approach, technical collaboration, and working with sensitivity in a politically charged context. By sharing the platform with one of the men at the heart of the work, the event extends the exhibition’s collaborative ethos both behind and in front of the lens.
The talk is free and open to all.
