In the first of our weekly Deeper artist focus talks, editor, writer and Curator at Liverpool’s Open Eye Gallery Mariama Attah joined artists Hakeem Adam and Maxwell Mutanda to discuss their new work One-Fifth of the Earth’s Surface. The project offers multiple readings of the unpredictable transatlantic waters as an evolving structure that initiates change on its surrounding lands, rerouting power and reshaping the lives of all who depend on it. Together they explore new ideas of archive, ownership, collaborative production, mapping and knowledge forms.  This talk is part of Deeper, a series of in-depth conversations with artists presenting work elsewhere within the festival, offering a weekly moment to delve beyond the surface of the AND Festival 2021 programme.
