FILM: “Mnemosyne” by John Akomfrah

Mnemosyne by celebrated Ghanaian-born British filmmaker and artist John Akomfrah (b.1957) is a powerful new film installation which focuses on the experience of migrant labour in the UK - a poetic essay on the themes of memory and migration. To make it Akomfrah combined newly shot footage with archive material from the various television and film archive libraries. Mnemosyne refers to the mother of the nine Muses, the personification of memory in Greek mythology. Akomfrah’s work questions memory and suggest the possibility for endless re-interpretation of historical events by interweaving archival footage from 1952 to 1981 with contemporary ‘portraits’ of Britain and extracts of new work filmed in a remote snowy landscape. Often referred to as ‘film essays’, Akomfrah’s work involves the creation of quasi-fictional scenarios, a questioning of the evidence found in archival material. For Mnemosyne, he used the BBC archives as a starting point to explore attitudes, assumptions and understandings about life in the West Midlands during a key moment in Britain’s immigrant history. Snatches of Homer’s Iliad with its themes of journeying, alienation, reconciliation and memory are narrated in voiceover through the nine ‘chapters’ of the film each section named for one of the Muses. Akomfrah says: ‘Going through the archives was an amazing voyage of memory and discovery. I am using the expression ‘tone poem’ to suggest the lateral journeys within Mnemosyne that play on the main theme of fragility, the burden and the excess of remembering’.

There’s a great short interview here with John Akomfrah as part of the BFI ‘In Conversation’ series.

Donald Rodney referenced stereotypes attributed to blackness through works such as Self Portrait: Black Men Public Enemy, 1990 light boxes and Double Think trophies with engraved text 1992. Through these works Rodney suggests how both the media and society reinforced these stereotypes through the criminalisation of black men hence the reference to “public enemy” and ironic rows of trophies symbolising the athletic prowess juxtaposed with engraved text such as “Black history has a horrible echo [sic], Sadly Black history gives poignant clues to Black Future, Black People are sly”

“twerking is a way to resist and a way to remember who you are” particularly for African diasporic communities

Fannie Sosa also addresses the overlap between this resistant-remembering and feminist methodologies.
