Pogus Caesar is a national treasure. 
His many projects as a photographer, director, artist, and archivist transcend language and defy perfectionism in the way great art should. 
The sheer humanity and honesty in his images spoke to me, and I needed to hear his story.
Those iconic images from the 1985 Handsworth riots fired me up through my love of activism through artistic expression. His images of cross-cultural friendships are profound, and we discuss his early experiences of moving from St Kitts to Birmingham in 1953, and his early cultural affections.
Pogus is candid in his vulnerability as a creator, sharing stories of observing people commenting on his work in galleries, and how the best we can do is offer a little piece of ourselves.

Ep 256: Pogus Caesar. The creativity behind the camera!

Welcome to 'The Creative Condition' podcast: an ongoing exploration of human creativity to help you navigate an increasingly automated world with your story and soul. The show is hosted by creativity coach, Founder of The Creative Condition, author and illustrator Ben Tallon. Creativity is an often misunderstood pillar of human happiness, something far bigger than artistic talent and crucial for fulfilling lives and careers. But in a data and efficiency-obsessed world, self-awareness, story and soul are more important than ever.
Featuring exclusive interviews with experts and thought leaders, including illustrators, designers, artists, founders, rock stars, sensitivity experts, musicians, emergency service workers, Olympic gold medal winners, comedians, microbiologists, photographers, fighters, and many others. Supported by founding sponsor <a href="https://illustrationx.com">Illustration X</a>, <a href="https://paradisoinstitute.org/">Paradiso Institute</a> the <a href="https://ui.org.ua">Ukrainian Institute.</a>
