@elephantmagazine + instal (open from 6pm) #PixelPerpetual on the occasion of
@artnightldn COME BYYYY /// on Larry Achiampong project: #PixelPerpetual is a new site specific installation from artist
@LarryAchiampong presented by A—-Z at
@studio_rca Riverlight.
Continuing from the ‘First Phase’ of ‘Relic Traveller’ (2017), Achiampong's afro-futurist multi-site project comprised of performance, audio, moving image and prose used themes of #losttestimony, #fallenempire and #futurenarratives displacement to deconstruct the architectures of colonialism. This installation marks the beginning of ‘Phase 2’ by introducing a new flag, text and audio-visual performance components.
The new 'PAN AFRICAN FLAG FOR THE RELIC TRAVELLERS’ ALLIANCE (MOTION)' is a core element of ‘Relic Traveller: Phase 2’. Configuring pan-African colours, ideology and symbolism to form an icon of unified and self-determined emancipation. Referencing the African sun and potentials of interstellar travel, the black disc is a means of leaving the ruins of historical imperial landscapes. The design features 54 stars representing each country of Africa, yellow gold for a new day and prosperity with the colours green, black and red reflecting its land, peoples and the struggles the continent has endured.
