In this episode, artist and educator, Angela Hennessy sits down with Cheryl Dericotte, MoAD’s inaugural artist from the Emerging Artist Program. Derricotte's exhibition, Ghosts/Ships, was exhibited on January 27, 2016 and closed on April 03, 2016. They discuss how Dericotte’s interdisciplinary practice is influenced by the texts she encounters in her daily life and the importance of titling work. Dericotte also generously shares songs from her playlist for creating new work, as music plays a key role in the development of her projects.

Notes from the Field: MoAD’s Emerging Artists and Critic Series is dedicated to MoAD’s Emerging Artist Program, giving the exhibiting artists an opportunity to discuss their featured exhibition at MoAD and how their art practice is in dialogue with contemporary art as it considers themes of the African Diaspora.
