  • Object as...with Bukola Koiki encore

    Object as...with Bukola Koiki encore
    Nov 22 2022

    This is a rebroadcast of a podcast from June 10th, 2022 presented as an encore for anyone who missed it. 

    During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the in-between spaces of immigrant life were made more acute for Bukola Koiki than ever. Searching for the feeling of home during the seemingly endless isolation of that time, she found herself comforted in abstracted forms and shapes of houses. The Pull was made in response to her yearning for Nigeria and beloved family members.

    American Craft Podcast thanks our guest, Bukola Koiki, See more of her work at bukolakoiki.com and follow @bukolakoiki. See this Object at craftcouncil.org.

    American Craft Podcast also thanks our host and producer Sarah Rachel Brown from perceivedvaluepodcast.com. Follow @sarahrachelbrown.

    Music is produced by Hamilton Boyce. Find him at hamiltonboyce.com and follow @hamiltonboyce.

  • Object as...with Ebitenyefa Baralaye encore

    Object as...with Ebitenyefa Baralaye encore
    Sep 21 2022
    This is a rebroadcast of a podcast from May 25th, 2022 presented as an encore for anyone who missed it.   “I wonder where is all my relation. Friendship to all and every nation.”  —David Drake   Ancestry and family are profound values in Baralaye's life, but the terms also have a degree of opacity. An understanding of “one’s people” touches on broad ideas of community, history, place, and value that shape a sense of belonging and being. We ultimately belong less to those broad entities than to the specific people and the distinct faces, voices, and bodies, known and unknown, chosen and unchosen, that compose what the 19th-century potter David Drake, enslaved in South Carolina, calls our “relation.”   As a part of a diaspora removed since birth from Nigeria and its culture, Baralaye sees “my relation” in the faces of the family members he knows but also in the imagined faces of those on his family tree whom he has yet to meet or never will. All My Relation: I gives distinct features to this unknown segment of Baralaye's relation while acknowledging that they are both unclear and persistent in his mind.

  • Object as...with James Maurelle encore

    Object as...with James Maurelle encore
    Aug 26 2022

    Originally published in late April we want to make James' work and interview available to new listeners as well. Enjoy this encore presentation.

     

    In fashioning the object, Morel Doucet pays homage to the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse, who came from humble beginnings. Morel's piece commemorates Mr. Moïse's legacy and the fragments of his vision for the Haitian people. The butterflies that grace the face of the object are symbols of transformation and hope. The stark white porcelain head pays homage to Morel's grandfather's cup of coffee he would casually drink after his evening work on the farm.
