Finding Fanon Part 3

Larry Achiampong & David Blandy Collaboration, 2016 - 17

Finding Fanon is a series of works in collaboration with David Blandy; inspired by the lost plays of Frantz Fanon, (1925-1961) a politically radical humanist whose practice dealt with the psychopathology of colonisation and the social and cultural consequences of decolonisation.

Across the film series, the two artists negotiate Fanon’s ideas, examining the politics of race, racism and the post-colonial, and how these societal issues affect their relationship.

Finding Fanon Part 3 followsthe artists and their children, across a narrative surrounding reconstruction, rejuvenation, and the (im)possibility of reconciliation, as conversations and conflicts between the artists pass from one generation to the next.
