OUTPUT gallery works exclusively with creatives from or based in Merseyside. For this episode, we speak to Gold Maria Akanbi, a neurodiverse British-Nigerian multidisciplinary artist. Akanbi showed as part of group exhibition OUTPUT OPEN 2 last year and now returns for a solo show of painting work that fills and covers the walls of the gallery. In this interview, we discuss lockdown, art and the state, searching for nirvana, healing through the process of making, and the new exhibition at OUTPUT which is open from September 3 - 27 here in Liverpool.
