   Is it a coincidence that Akomfrah was asked to do something?

One of the collective’s significant early works was the single-channel piece Handsworth Songs, which Akomfrah directed.

The film won several international prizes and established a multi-layered visual style that has become a recognisable motif of Akomfrah’s practice.
