Larry Achiampong is an artist whose solo and collaborative projects employ imagery, aural and visual archives, live performance and sound to explore ideas surrounding class, cross-cultural and post-digital identity. For his Fellowship project Achiampong and his frequent collaborator, Nephertiti Oboshie Schandorf are developing a new work processing the imprints of depression, digital anxiety and Black Masculinity. Through field recordings, moving image and materials from Achiampong’s personal archives, the project ‘A Letter, A Pledge & A Funeral’ delicately unfurls the tensions of grief, dislocation, legacy and lost kin.

Achiampong is a 2018 Jarman Award-nominated artist and a 2019 Paul Hamlyn Award recipient (for Visual Arts) and has worked with major institutions on commissions, residencies and exhibitions with spaces including Tate Galleries, the Venice and Singapore Biennales, Somerset House and Transport for London.
