Mnemosyne is a new work by the Black Audio Film Collective member and seminal filmmaker John Akomfrah. The installation questions memory and suggests the possibility for endless re-interpretation of historical events by interweaving archival footage from 1960-1981, with contemporary ‘portraits’ and extracts of new work filmed in a remote snowy landscape.
