Left of Black S11 · E14 | Exploring Black Cosmologies Through the Art of Mikael Owunna

Black bodies have long been associated with death and the site for racial trauma induced by systemic oppression. But how can we unfetter our imagination on how we view the Black body, which ultimately impacts how we all view ourselves? Duke alumnus Mikael Owunna, a queer Nigerian-Swedish American multimedia artist and engineer based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania joins Left of Black host Mark Anthony Neal. Mr. Owunna will have his first museum installation at the Contemporary Art Museum of Raleigh located at 409 West Martin Street, Raleigh, NC from February 5 to August 15, 2021.
