In this episode I speak with Amoako Boafo who is celebrated for his captivating portraits that honor and elevate Black figures, carving out a significant place for them in the tradition of portraiture.

As a prominent voice in the art of the African Diaspora, Amoako redefines how Black forms are perceived in a global context. His unique approach not only challenges traditional perspectives but also invites a more nuanced appreciation of the subjects he portrays.

In this episode I speak with Barbara Minishi, a visionary artist whose work is fueled by transformation, curiosity, and a deep desire for connection. Starting her career in fashion and editorial photography, Barbara has since broadened her artistic horizons to include film, sound design, and conceptual workshops.

Barbara's creative journey is a testament to the power of listening to the inner call, embracing change, and redefining the boundaries of artistic expression.

Our conversation delves into the themes of self-expression, exposure, and failure. We explore the importance of authenticity, the impact of exposure on understanding, and the significance of embracing enchantment in life.
