Lisson Gallery is currently hosting the exhibition 'Listening All Night To The Rain' by artist and filmmaker John Akomfrah in New York through April 25, 2026. In a concurrent interview with Artforum’s 'Under the Influence' series, Akomfrah discusses his creative influences, including works by Andrea Mantegna and J.M.W. Turner. The artist also reflects on the impact of the 1999 'Sensation' exhibition and his background in music as a primary influence on his practice.
