On 3 and 4 May 2018, the curators of VLOSA invited the commissioned artists and writers to participate in a gathering at the Lowe Museum, University of Miami, Coral Gables. The objective, in keeping with the overall ethos of the Small Axe Project, and sx visualities in particular, was to put the artists and writers into a conversation that would stimulate the work to come. The photographs in these two galleries represent a selection of the photographs taken of the participants on this two-day occasion.
