Larry Achiampong's projects employ imagery, aural and visual archives, live performance, and sound to intricately explore the complexities of class, cross-cultural dynamics, and postdigital identity. By crate-digging the echoes of history, Achiampong examines the hybridity of his heritage alongside the intersection between popular culture and the legacies of colonisation.

These investigations scrutinise constructions of ‘the self’ through the splicing of audible and visual materials of personal and interpersonal archives. In doing so, he offers multiple perspectives that reveal the deeply entrenched inequalities in contemporary society.

Achiampong has presented projects across the UK and globally, including commissions with Art on the Underground, London (2022); The Liverpool Biennial, Liverpool (2021) Achiampong’s most recent solo exhibition ‘A Letter, A Pledge’ was presented at Stanley Picker Gallery in January 2024.

The artist was in the following exhibitions:
The 2021 Film London
Jarman Award Touring Programme
Cinema: The Film London Jarman Award 2024
