American Origin Stories: Black History (Un)told


Jul 10, 2020

On this episode of American Origin Stories, the fifth in the BLM series, we acknowledge the power and toll of the current movement. With so much negativity in the news and seemingly all around us, we close out the season (for now) with a conversation with artist Azikiwe Mohammed about the work he does to find the beautiful common threads in the Black American experience. He tells our stories through his work by creating spaces that are familiar, but with an air of safety. He makes work for us in that are intimately about us, in spaces where we have too often been shut out. Through his art, we see our own lives reflected. It is the ties that bind us that will make us successful in pursuit of our life's work toward an equal society.
