Busy Being Black returns soon with a season exploring Black imaginative vigour—and who better than Mojisola Adebayo to remind us of the adventure and irreverence of Black artistry, during and beyond times of crisis?

In this conversation, which originally aired in February 2023, Mojisola takes us on a journey from Goldsmiths University to Antarctica, to space and back again, to explore how we utilise performance to challenge the sanctity of whiteness, what an orgasm-seeking space odyssey tells us about the world-changing potential of queer Black pleasure, and how the reanimation of the life and story of Henrietta Lacks prompts us to consider our own genealogical and cosmic immortality.
