She has gone on to have a collaborative practice that plays with potential political and physical collapse – always. Clayton proposes ‘a way out’ with D.I.Y performance. Her practice held –  in flux – in between like a sticky dance floor. Currently exhibiting at the Diaspora Pavilion, Venice, Italy, 2017.

Larry Achiampong’s solo and collaborative projects employ imagery, aural and visual archives, live performance and sound to explore ideas surrounding class, cross-cultural and post-digital identity – in particular, dichotomies found within a world dominated by social media and digital frameworks. Achiampong has exhibited, performed and presented projects within the UK and abroad including Tate Britain/Modern, London; dOCUMENTA 13, Kassel; The Institute For Creative Arts, Cape Town, among others. 

Something Human is an independent curatorial partnership co-directed by Alessandra Cianetti and Annie Jael Kwan. Something Human is interested in exploring movement and relationships across boundaries, through its shared multidisciplinary interests in architecture, design, sculpture, mixed media, photography, moving image and performance. It actively seeks collaborations with artists, makers and producers from different cultural and socio-political backgrounds, for exchange and dialogue with an aim to create new, exciting performative-driven works.
