The Model is delighted to present Chorus in Rememory of Flight, an immersive multi-screen film installation, across six gallery spaces, by one of the UK’s most exciting artists, Julianknxx.
Inspired by the words of philosopher Édouard Glissant, ‘you can change with the Other while being yourself, you are not one, you are multiple, and you are yourself’; this major work is borne out of a year in which Julianknxx travelled to cities across Europe to locate and collaborate with ex-patriot African communities. Through a practice of active listening, he has collected the performances and testimonies of singers, poets, choirs, politicians, dancers, activists and leading figures from Black communities, to create a series of films that reflect on the chorus as a means of resistance to the eradication of difference.
