The ARAK Collection announces Billy Fowo as a recipient of its 2026 Curatorial Fellowship.

Fowo is a Cameroonian curator and writer based in Berlin, Germany, with research interests spanning the sonic, linguistics, and literature. He is a graduate of de Appel Curatorial Programme (2023) and currently works with SAVVY Contemporary – The Laboratory of Form-Ideas.

He has contributed to major international platforms, with texts published in catalogues and publications including the São Paulo Biennial (36th edition), Sharjah Biennial 15, Kunstforum International, and Mousse Magazine. He has also served on the Selection Committee for the Future Generation Art Prize 2023/24 and as a juror for Encontros da Imagem 2025.

For the ARAK Collection Fellowship, Fowo will develop a curatorial project that examines abstraction and form-making practices across African and diasporic contexts, challenging inherited distinctions between art and craft, tradition and contemporaneity.
