Báyò Akómoláfé joins the show today to discuss the role of Tricksters and Monsters in connecting us into emergent thought and taking us beyond our regular programming of 'two-ness'.

Báyò is a poet at heart and a deep thinker. He sees himself as a 'trans-public intellectual'; (a concept imagined together with and inspired by the shamanic priesthood of the Yoruba healer-trickster)- whose vocation goes beyond justice and speaking truth to power to opening up other spaces of power-with, and queering fond formulations and configurations of hope.

Discover more about Báyò from his website: www.bayoakomolafe.net.

We discuss concepts from his short booklet called I, Coronavirus. Mother. Monster. Activist and I also reference the book Pan, the Great God's Modern Return.
