Larry Achiampong, A Pledge (2024), film still from 4k single channel video with stereo sound. © Larry Achiampong & Copperfield London. Commissioned by Stanley Picker Gallery, Kingston University.

Stanley Picker Fellow Larry Achiampong’s show centres around two moving image works, processing the imprints of depression, inherited trauma, digital anxiety and Black Masculinity. The films delicately unfurl the tensions of dislocation, lost kin and grief, while placing the visitors in an environment filled with sculptural elements, Ashante stool, games and karate mats, reflecting on the Okinawan karate’s ‘hard-soft style’.
