The conversation doesn't stop at the gallery walls of the 2025 REVOLT Art Fair. Curator Zindzi Harley lends her expertise to the digital presentation that spotlights 24 international artists. Their work will be exhibited across digital screens, projections, and a massive LED installation at REVOLT’s closing night party. This wide-ranging digital exhibition affords attendees an opportunity to view works that are imbued with themes of disrupting the status quo and liberation, obliterating narratives of the old and boldly daring to construct and portray stories that will help shape what’s to come.
