The Otolith Group was founded in 2000 by its core members, Anjalika Sagar and Kodwo Eshun who live and work in London. The Group works with media archives, histories of futurity, the legacies of non-alignment and tricontinentalism. The Group’s artistic work explores the moving image, sound and text. The Group also functions internationally as a public platform for curatorial practice and discussion on contemporary artistic production.
