David Blandy & Larry Achiampong perform Media Minerals—A spoken-word and sound lecture

The collaborative duo remix sound and lyrics as a means of researching the post colonial, and its relationship to today's globalised media and technologies. The performance draws on the conflict minerals that power the new media devices we use to communicate today most of which derive from the Congo.

ABOUT BLANDY & ACHIAMPONG //
In David Blandy & Larry Achiampong's collaborative practice, they share an interest in popular culture and the post-colonial position. They examine communal and personal heritage, using performance to investigate the self as a fiction, devising alter-egos to point at their divided selves. The duo have exhibited extensively in the UK and internationally, both individually and as a duo, at venues including Tate, London; Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai; and MOMA PS1, New York.
