Fons Americanus was a sculpture, taking the form of a functional fountain adorned with allegorical scenes and figures, created by American artist Kara Walker.

The work was commissioned by the Tate Modern for its Turbine Hall, part of a series funded by the Hyundai Motor Company.

[1] Other artists whose work has been featured in the Turbine Hall as part of the series include Tania Bruguera, Philippe Parreno, and Abraham Cruzvillegas.

[8] Co-director[9] Emmanuel Adjei said, "In this audio-visual document we get to witness artists FKA twigs and Headie One, amongst other Black British influentials, fighting against invisible forces of judgement and oppression.

Having the enormous Victorian-inspired fountain Fons Americanus by visual artist Kara Walker—depicting the historical, sorrowful story of slavery and colonization—as our setting, and particularly as the spirit of the film, this important monument creates another layer of depth and meaning to an invisible yet shared history.
