John Akomfrah, The Hour Of The Dog, 2025. 6 channel HD colour video installation with 15.1 surround sound, 50 minutes (approx.).

John Akomfrah: The Hour Of The Dog is an immersive, six-channel video installation by the British artist Sir John Akomfrah. The work, co-commissioned by the Menil Collection and the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA), explores the history of youth-led Civil Rights–era activism in the American South from 1954 to 1963, and how the participants fought for racial equity through nonviolent marches, protests, boycotts, and voter registration efforts.

We believe freedom of artistic expression is fundamental to an open and enlightened democracy and are committed to promoting and defending it.
