Comprising a two-channel moving image work and multi-room sculpture, the installation Three Parent Child forms the final part of Sonya Dyer's ongoing Hailing Frequencies Open project – a reimagining of the history and radical potentiality of human space travel, exploration of the intersections between scientific enquiry, the stories of Black women of history and mythology, as well as ongoing conversations around monumentalism and memory.
Dyer will be joined in conversation by artist and researcher Ayesha Hameed to unpack the new commission. The talk will include a screening of Andromeda and The Betsey-Drake Equation, the previous two films in Sonya’s HFO trilogy, alongside late access to Three Parent Child with extended exhibition opening hours.
Three Parent Child has been commissioned by Somerset House and developed in residence at Somerset House Studios.
