Curated by the artist and writer Olivier Marboeuf, this second edition engages a dialogue on the intersections of heritage, history, and transmission.

In opposition to the Western diktat of public overexposure as the only desirable form of representation, to the empire of transparency, of the raw light of Reason that would illuminate the obscure worlds of here and elsewhere, black transmission opposes an aesthetics of opacity and an ecology of the shadow. To transmit through enigma and initiation is also to give full importance to all the powers of the living, human and non-human, visible and invisible, which require special attention and care. Added to this sensitivity for all the voices of the living is an art of cunning, an art of slipping under the ear of those who want to know everything and accumulate everything. Faced with the voracity of cultural extractivism, black transmission is also a skilful practice of scrambling, of saturation, of a word that serves not to say, to fill the space with a noise that only certain ears will be able to decode.
