In the accompanying episode to the digital exhibition Griot Genesis, this intimate conversation offers a deeper look into Miriam Uhura’s evolving creative practice. Reflecting on her early itch to create and the moment art became not just something she did, but something she was becoming, Uhura speaks candidly about influence, autonomy, and the inner workings of her practice. 

Together, we explore the themes grounding the exhibition: family as living influence, vulnerability rendered through the intimate gaze, and Black legacy and freedom. From ritual, music as research, and to reclaiming archetypes through a modern griot lens, Uhura shares the stories she carries and the ones still unfolding.
