Mnemosyne - the personification of memory in Greek mythology - is the focus of John Akomfrah's powerful new film installation.

As well as memory and mythology, Akomfrah explores the experience of migrant labour in the UK and considers the endless re-interpretation of history as he fuses newly shot film with archive footage from 1952 to 1981.
