Exploring post-colonialism, environmental devastation and the politics of aesthetics, Listening All Night To The Rain is Akomfrah’s boldest and most ambitious commission to date. The exhibition brings together eight interlocking and overlapping multimedia and sound installations into a single and immersive environment that tells stories of migrant diasporas in Britain. The exhibition tells global stories through the ‘memories’ of people who represent migrant communities in Britain and examines how multiple geopolitical narratives are reflected in the experiences of diasporic people more broadly.

Through the multiplication of witnessed experiences, Robert Boyle’s seventeenth century experiments in pneumatics represent the development of the experimental performance, making matters of fact both social and epistemological.

Framework, Embodied2 is a (second) low-carbon addition to the Leon Electric Building. This project proposes the secondary embodiment of the existing structural framework of the Leon Electric Building through the addition of a CLT structural stitch. This addition effectively binds together public transportation, co-housing, co-working, care facilities and community spaces, all in order to produce a new type of urban infrastructure for Dorchester.
