Renowned for his multi-screen installations, Sir Isaac Julien's latest work, Once Again... (Statues Never Die) (2022), is a mesmerising and immersive five-screen black-and-white installation film which explores the relationship and correspondence between art collector Albert C. Barnes (1872-1951) and prominent philosopher, educator and cultural leader Alain Locke (1885-1954).

Once Again... (Statues Never Die) examines the significant and often neglected place of African objects in numerous collections of western art museums. Using poetic reparation and historical archives - drawing on Julien's extensive research into the archives of the Barnes Foundation - the film explores the reciprocal impact of Locke's political philosophy and cultural organising activities on Dr. Barnes's pioneering art collecting and his democratic, inclusive educational enterprise.
