Akomfrah’s major commission for the Venice Biennale tours the UK in Cardiff.
Commissioned by the British Council for the 60th Venice Biennale, Listening All Night to the Rain is John Akomfrah’s most ambitious work to date. Now touring to National Museum Cardiff with Art Fund support, the exhibition unfolds as a series of interwoven multimedia and sound installations, creating an immersive environment that explores the histories of migrant diasporas in Britain.
Akomfrah and his team draw on decades of research, weaving together newly filmed material, archival footage, photography and sound to uncover how geopolitical histories shape diasporic experiences today.
