In the framework of a classroom setting, Larry Achiampong (Copperfield) & Marcus Jefferson (Harlesden High Street) reflect on the lottery of growing up black, that begins with racism and socio-economics but is rooted in prejudices that can only be understood properly with time and consideration. Achiampong requests people in power to repeat a phrase in chalk, turning punishment to reflection. Phrases like "everybody wants to be black until it's time to be black" confront the commodification of black identity, against a backdrop of fleeting solidarity on social media feeds. Jefferson brings the windows and floor to this conceptual classroom, made with materials used in the drug trade from Vaseline & clingfilm to free lottery tickets, all used to conceal and evade detection.

Marcus Jefferson looks at the cultural language of inner-city life, known as the “The Roads”. Through social commentary and humour, he reflects the paradoxical way Road is often packaged up and sold back to audiences. Speaking to systems of power used to control, Road’s pain and struggle is not only normalized but glamorized in pop culture.

He has recently exhibited at Kunsthalle Recklinghausen, Basel Social Club, Tick Tack Antwerp.
