Description

Hello friends

Welcome to Art Meets a Podcast!

A space to talk about artistic African and philosophical production. Join us as we dig deep with our friends to find out how the arts and cultural movements from Africa and its diaspora have framed our contemporary moment. We’ll be chatting with visual artists, curators, art historians, writers and other cultural practitioners. There are histories to learn, contradictions to unfold and various points of view that don’t always agree. We’ll be haggling with our friends and swapping out academic jargon for easy colloquialisms. Join us as we create this rich tapestry where African thought and practices are celebrated.

Hello Friends  How have you been feeling? A little existential maybe? A little dread maybe? I know we are currently sandwiched in a tightly pressed “Covid Panini '' which comes with a side order of vaccine for the price of socialising again. It feels like the zombie apocalypse is upon us and the end of the world is near. We’ve understood Existential Dread as a philosophy which involves questioning our existence and purpose, from what  feels like a crisis of the individual. So we thought it would be interesting to put Existential Dread next to the African philosophy of Ubuntu; a philosophy that broadly says that a ‘person is a person through other people.’ If Existential Dread is about an internal individual crisis of being, can Ubuntu offer us another way of being that is about a communal questioning? Let’s get deep into the chats this season as we try to figure out some things.
