Three works by nontraditional filmmaker John Akomfrah play on multiple screens in the gallery. Immerse yourself in Tropikos, set during the encounter of Europe and Africa in the 16th century; discover maritime exploration in Vertigo Sea, a combination of archival and new recordings about both peaceful waters and disasters at sea; and revisit the birth of the internet in The Last Angel of History.

This exhibit will be open to view on SAM's members-only reopening days: September 4, 5, 6, and 7. The museum opens to the general public on September 11. If you want to see this show, you can become a member here.
