Colonial pasts, global migration, climate crisis – and yet a space of empathy! JOHN AKOMFRAH

JOHN AKOMFRAH. A SPACE OF EMPATHY

9. NOVEMBER 2023 – 28. JANUAR 2024

John Akom­frah (b. 1957) creates thoughtful video works of haunting audio­vi­sual inten­sity. He tells of the radical changes and crises of the present and past on char­ac­ter­istic large-format screens. From November 9, 2023 to January 28, 2024, the Schirn Kunsthalle Frank­furt is presenting for the first time a compre­hen­sive overview of the artist’s work in Germany, featuring a selec­tion of three major multi­channel instal­la­tions from recent years: The Unfin­ished Conver­sa­tion (2012), Vertigo Sea (2015), and Akom­frah’s new work, Becoming Wind (2023).
