JKFSiegen: Excursion

John Akomfrah at SCHIRN, Frankfurt

In the visually sophisticated exhibition A Space of Empathy, John Akomfrah explores colonial and migration history as well as the climate crisis through three multiscreen installations. Akomfrah is an artist, director, screenwriter, curator and co-founder of London's influential Black Audio Film Collective (1982-1998). He will represent the UK at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024.

After visiting the exhibition together, we want to have lunch together in Frankfurt from 1.00/13.30 p.m. before heading to the Portikus of the Städelschule at around 3.00 p.m. to finish.

The exhibition Let Us Believe in the Beginning of the Cold Season deals with the role and meaning of language in the course of political movements and is conceived as a series of film screenings. Each week of the exhibition is dedicated to an individual artist whose work is presented in a continuous loop in the Portikus exhibition space. On January 20, the film Nazarbazi, 2022 (19 min) by Iranian artist Maryam Tafakory will be shown.
