,,It’s after the end of the world. Don’t you know that yet?”
John Akomfrah is a Ghanaian-born British artist and filmmaker whose influential work is characterised by investigations into memory, the legacy of colonialism, temporalities and aesthetics and the Black Diaspora. In response to the social unrests in Britain during the 80s, he co-founded the Black Audio Film Collective, a media workshop known for its seminal experimental film practices dedicated to Black popular and political culture. In his work, Akomfrah weaves together original footage with archival material to create stirring, layered narratives that juxtapose personal and historical memory, past and present.
