A
event
held at Arnolfini
on Friday 16th May. The event starts at 19:00.
In A Letter (Side B), which is partially filmed on a hacked Gameboy camera, Achiampong recounts a deeply personal moment in a counselling room following a suicide attempt, offering a raw portrayal of his mental health struggles. The story unfolds against a backdrop of structural inequalities that historically, marginalised communities continue to face today. A Pledge is a work that explores the interconnected states of generational trauma, seclusion, mental and physical health and communal agency through the acts of driving and Gōjū-ryū Karate. (Trigger warning: Contains flashing lights and scenes of a sensitive nature including depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and racism).
+ Screening followed by Q+A with Larry Achiampong and Ben Borthwick.
