Collateral Echoes
“Collateral Echoes was borne from real systemic and collective pain. The kind that happens when the world breaks… Making this work has been a process of hope and empathy. In sharing it for the first time at Site Gallery x DocFest, maybe we can start to heal collectively - instead of looking away.”

​
Artist and filmmaker @baff_akoto presents Collateral Echoes, an immersive exhibition combining XR, moving image, screen-printed portraits, and sound design to present first-person testimonies, archival imagery and performance.
​
Including spoken prose from Paapa Essiedu and poetry by the late, great @officialbenjaminzephaniah, the exhibition memorialises those killed - and gives voice to the communities who survive them - in this exploration of nostalgia, loss, grief and joy.
