About

London-based artists Karl Ohiri and Sayed Hasan explore their histories, cultural heritages and identities together in this unique multi-media project. It documents their attempts to bring their granddads' cars to Britain and park them side-by-side, as a celebration of mixed- and shared-heritages. Both cars still await shipment, held up due to reasons that reflect the cultures of the countries they remain in. Using a combination of photography and video to document their experiences, both artists intimately reveal the acts and processes needed to achieve their ambition in this ongoing work. Self-initiated and funded by Arts Council England, the project has been internationally exhibited at the 2013 Lagos photography festival, as an installation in 2012 at Heathrow Terminal 5, at Tate Britain's Family Matters exhibition 2012-13, and at Recyclart Brussels in 2013.
