Larry Achiampong: In conversation
Presented by the John Hansard Gallery, join speakers as they discussing artist Larry Achiampong’s new film Reliquary 2.

Speaking directly to his children, Reliquary 2 is an archive of contemplative prose and a historical record during what has been a surreal and challenging period for many.
