We Are Parable take a close look at John Akomfrah, one of the most celebrated living British artists, with a long and storied career as a founder of the Black Audio Film Collective and his solo practice. His trailblazing work has seen him oscillating between the avant-garde tradition, modernity, and postmodernity situated in the spaces of cinema, gallery and television. Akomfrah’s inventions in the archive and radical approach to filmmaking have influenced generations of artists and filmmakers who dream of a better future by excavating the past.
