The Institute of Black Imagination.

E43. Kenturah Davis: The Limits of Language.


Listen Later

Today’s episode is with contemporary artist Kenturah Davis. Exploring language, looms, and listening beyond the limen, Kenturah's work reminds us that identity requires an intimacy with the unknown and oftentimes hidden portraits of ourselves. 

We explore topics that range from the diminishing value of a Masters of Fine Arts degree to urban planning and design to Toni Morrison’s essay “The Site of Memory”, this conversation is one that holds our hearts in an audible essay on the shadows of life and living.
