Book Tickets
On Wednesday 25 February, John Akomfrah will be in conversation with Julianknxx at The Institute of Contemporary Arts, London. Working across film, sound and archive, both artists use moving image to tell powerful human stories that question the structures and systems we exist within.
Coming together in conversation for the first time, the conversation will explore their investigations into memory, the archive, and oral history, as well as how they have developed their unique visual languages. The evening will feature short screenings, followed by a live discussion chaired by Dominique Heyse-Moore , Senior Curator of Contemporary British Art at Tate Britain.
This event is part of ICA Speaking Futures × Diasporas Now, a yearlong cross-cultural programme of exchange and knowledge production.
Wednesday 25 February, 6:45pm
Cinema 1, The Institute of Contemporary Arts, The Mall, London
