Join the artist Eric Gyamfi for a tour of his new exhibition, Fixing Shadow – Julius and I
Autograph
Rivington Place
London EC2A 3BA, UK
Using thousands of cyanotype prints, artist Eric Gyamfi has transformed Autograph’s gallery into a monochromatic cosmos, examining how photography can shift meanings and histories – ‘fixing shadows’ of legacy, absence, and revival. Join this intimate event in which the Gyamfi will provide a tour of the exhibition and explore his relationship with the transgressive, African American composer Julius Eastman (1940-1990).
Autograph’s galleries are open to the public until 6pm – please arrive ahead of the event if you wish to visit our other exhibition, Ajamu: The Patron Saint of Dark Rooms.
The ticket price for this event is £5. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. If this ticket price is unaffordable for you please get in touch with Livvy at livvy@autograph-abp.co.uk about free ticketing options.
