Through materiality and form, this year's pavilion critically examines issues related to racism in sports. Its architectural design emphasizes the experience of players who constantly oscillate between a sense of belonging and a fear of radical exclusion.
Ilori's design incorporates the calabash percussion instrument as a symbol of participation and conviviality, drawing inspiration from the knowledge systems of Western African societies.
The design features interior mirrors, encouraging self-reflection and reminding visitors of their accountability. The round structure surrounds visitors with mirrors, creating the sensation of 'being watched by a mass - a multiplication of oneself.'
