The A-Team

Over the phone, fourteen friends recall their Ghanaian high school exchange trip to Jackson, Mississippi, in the United States, a decade later. As their memories accumulate, they grow uncanny. Blurred, darkened images mirror gaps, uncertainties, and moments the group still struggles to confront.

Nnenna Onuoha: 'Our shared archive is fragmented and contested. Rather than treating it as evidence, I chose to distort and animate this material — reflecting the absence of a single, stable account while also functioning as a form of care, protecting those who felt shame around the situations in which they had been photographed. The A-Team does not seek a single truth; rather, it traces how memory shifts over time, and how a collective experience fractures into personal narratives.'
