Ep.253 features Jules BE KUTI, a young emerging artist born in 1993. His art reflects his experience as a Black person living in France, as well as his reflections on the challenges faced by Black individuals in society. Growing up in France, Jules was inspired by the richness of Black culture. He uses his art as a vehicle for intimate reflection, allowing him to explore the dynamics of memory and identity in a globalized world where national and cultural boundaries are increasingly blurred. Jules's works highlight archetypes and scenes from everyday life, each capturing emotions, experiences, and stories through the use of multiple colors.

Jules's work is a celebration of diversity, offering a unique perspective on exploration and how diversity can be used to express and exalt our common humanity.
