Info
Collateral Echoes is the centrepiece of this year’s Alternate Realities exhibition at Sheffield Doc Fest. From artist and filmmaker Baff Akoto, this new installation commemorates the potential, personalities and memories of Black and Immigrant Britons disproportionately killed after police contact since 1969.
Collateral Echoes combines XR, moving image and immersive sound design to present first-person testimonies, archival imagery and performance. Including spoken prose from Paapa Essiedu and poetry by the late, great Benjamin Zephaniah, the exhibition memorialises those killed – and gives voice to the communities who survive them – in this exploration of nostalgia, loss, grief and joy.
