Join us for a chance to see John Akomfrah: Listening All Night To The Rain before it opens to the public on Sat 4 December and enjoy refreshments from our sponsor, Fettercairn. 

John Akomfrah’s profound exhibition Listening All Night To The Rain,  continues the artist and filmmaker’s investigation into themes of memory, migration, racial injustice and climate change. The work debuted at the 60th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia before traveling to Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Cardiff in 2025 and Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool in 2026. Akomfrah’s immersive audio-visual works will fill both galleries at DCA, inviting audiences on a journey of sights and sounds that draw out specific moments in time and events in our collective histories.
