MUM MAM DUMB DAMN:

Acheson-Elmassry's latest  exhibition was at  Galeri, Caernarfon, Wales. This Solo  Exhibition was  about the artist's  mother and the experience of her Alzheimer's Disease. The show included sonic artworks and an experimental composition 'mumMAM' made in collaboration with Huw McGregor, and a performance by Wanda Zyborska.

Works included the 'Anger Pantry' a participatory hitting artwork with sonic feedback, a video of a floating piano seaweed and a suspended blue soft cast of a Renault Clio like the one the artist's Mum loved to drive.
