Julianknxx set for exhibition at the Barbican this September

Chorus in Rememory of Flight will take place at The Curve

Interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker and poet Julianknxx will have an exhibition at the Barbican this September.

Running from September 14 to February 11 2024, Chorus in Rememory of Flight will take place at The Curve. The exhibition will examine “inheritance, loss and belonging” through mixed media approaches, including written word, music and visual art.

“Sierra Leonian artist Julianknxx uses his personal history as a prism to deconstruct dominant perspectives on African art, history, and culture. Rich with symbolism, his work conveys the Black experience of defining and redefining the self, rejecting labels to form new collective narratives,” says the description for the exhibition.

“Offering song and music as forms of resistance, the exhibition invokes new understandings of what it means to be caught between, and to be of, multiple places.”

Admission to The Curve is always free so no booking is needed.
