Join award-winning writer and director Caleb Femi in conversation with artist and poet Rohan Ayinde as they speak to poetic sensibilities, Blackness as a foundation and site of experimentation, and contemporary ideas around masculinity.
Taking the criticality and materiality of Donald Rodney’s practice as their starting point, Femi and Ayinde will mediate on the importance of art which engages with the social, political, and cultural concerns of our times.
Reflecting on poetry as a framework for world building and unravelling, the interconnectedness of poetry and film, and Blackness as a place from which we can set sail, explore, and experiment; this conversation will weave together critical narratives on Black masculinity and the crucial legacy and influence of artists like Donald Rodney.
This event accompanies our current exhibition Donald Rodney: Visceral Canker.
