Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kofi Perry
Q: What's the story behind your Afrofuturist labeling and how you relate to it?
He acknowledges Afrofuturism as a useful branding descriptor while noting its controversial baggage, explaining that he uses it to describe how his art intersects cultural history with futuristic aesthetics, and that he navigates its label to reflect a broader cross-cultural artistic lineage.
Kofi Perry
Q: Can you give us like a potted, who is Kofi? Where do you come from?
Kofi explains his mixed heritage, being born to an American father and Iranian mother who grew up in Lebanon, and his upbringing across Lebanon, the United States, and the United Kingdom, which shaped his curiosity and approach to art. He describes moving for schooling, exploring various mediums, and eventually grounding his practice in drawing before transitioning to painting.
Susan Chen
Q: Do you want to maybe just tell us what that show at Rachel Uffner is about?
The show features six large paintings and new ceramics, created in a year of intense work, with themes around women's agency and political realities shaping personal narratives.
Charlotte Colbert
Q: Do you think you're an artist? Do you call yourself a filmmaker? What bucket do you put yourself in?
She describes herself as living in a creative organism where media blend and boundaries blur; she focuses on the drives behind her practice rather than fitting neatly into a single label.
Berto Herrera
Q: How does your military background inform your artwork?
He explains that military experience and a sense of surveillance shape his interest in power structures, but he uses aesthetics to invite interpretation rather than deliver a didactic message.
