A new work by seminal filmmaker John Akomfrah will go on show at The Public January 2010 as part of Made in England, a partnership initiative developed by Arts Council England and BBC English Regions.

Akomfrah was given access to the BBC’s television, film and sound archives for Made in England, a project that reflects how England makes art and art makes England.  He chose to focus on the experience of migrant labour in the West Midlands to create Mnemosyne, a poetic essay on the themes of memory and migration
