Everything Is Connected

Ludovic Nkoth is a MFA student at New York City's Hunter College, with several group and solos shows forthcoming this fall. On this episode, Nkoth discusses the ways in which his art can be used as an educational tool to teach Black people about their stolen African heritage through visual arts. We talked about his love of family, cooking, and the importance of keeping a great team of people close to him as sources of inspiration.

Khari Turner is an emerging artist currently in Columbia's 2021 MFA program. His work is a celebration of Blackness. While earlier undergraduate works focused on social justice and prison reform, Turner's current paintings are a celebration of Black life and focus on the deeply rooted relationship African-Americans hold to water or a lack thereof while exploring the nuances of love, identity, gender dynamics, and masculinity.
