Making the Cut – Leo Asemota

This October, Iniva collaborates with Film and Video Umbrella to present a series of talks in which artists from London, known for their innovations with the moving image, showcase new work and discuss their practice.

Leo Asemota’s forays into film and video are merely one component in an engagingly diverse and highly personal aesthetic. Shining a light on the different aspects of his work, Asemota discusses his motivations and his ongoing interests with curator Paul Goodwin.

These presentations, collectively entitled ‘Making the Cut’, focus on artists who have made their mark over the last few years, while speculating also on the future of this kind of practice at a time of unprecedented pressure on public funding. Reflecting the extraordinary diversity of London’s cultural life, the three talks taking place at Iniva are accompanied by various events at venues across the capital. This years theme is Freedom to Want.

‘Making the Cut’ is part of ‘Free to Air’, an initiative that is conceived and curated by Film and Video Umbrella, and funded by London Councils.
