EXHIBITOR/S

John Akomfrah

20 aprile 2024 - 24 novembre 2024

The British director, screenwriter, and artist John Akomfrah creates an exhibition with an open structure that, through eight different multi-screen works, explores broad themes such as memory, migration, racial injustice, and climate change. His installations embody the idea of “acoustemology” (acoustics merged with epistemology), with the aim of examining sound as a mode of knowledge. In Akomfrah’s world, the sonic dimension allows us to ‘listen to’ and interrogate the relics and monuments of colonial history.
