Heather Agyapong: Why Can't Black People Rest


Listen Later

In today’s episode, I’m thrilled to introduce Heather Agyepong, a British Ghanaian visual artist, performer, actor, and maker, based in London. Her art practice, deeply concerned with mental health and wellbeing, the diaspora, combines visual art and performance to create an engaging experience for both herself and her audience. Heather's unique approach involves re-imagination to engage communities of interest by placing the self as a central focus within the image. 

Our conversation illuminates the critical role of community and journaling in honing our crafts, and the liberating realization that our talents are not limited to a single expression.
We also talk about the realities of a digital era brimming with distractions, focusing on the art of intentionality and boundary-setting. Heather shares her strategies for fostering creativity and maintaining focus in a world cluttered with notifications providing practical insights for fellow artists and creators.
