Podcasts about black contemporary art

 Saudade Toxosi is a true artistic polymath, weaving her creative magic across a diverse range of mediums, from painting and charcoal drawings to photography, mixed media, sound design, and assemblage. With a career spanning over two decades, Toxosi has undertaken a meditative curatorial process, meticulously selecting and arranging found images that serve as a profound exploration of the "New Indigenous African" experience in the United States and the shared experiences of people of color around the world.  One of her most compelling and influential projects is Equinox 1600, where Toxosi pairs and organizes these images, creating thought-provoking visual narratives that have captured the attention of artists, filmmakers, and cinematographers alike. Her work has played a pivotal role in shaping some of the most important visual and narrative statements of our time, including collaborations with visionaries like Bradford Young and Kahlil Joseph.  In 2018, Toxosi unveiled her own film, "Oyeku," a powerful work that was featured alongside the creations of luminaries such as Henry Davis, Faith Childs-Davis, Michelle Blade, and Karon Davis in Kahlil Joseph's solo exhibition "New Suns" at the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht, Netherlands.  Her impact extends beyond filmmaking, as Toxosi's contributions to visual research have been sought after for projects like Eliot Rausch's "The Moment After," Jake and Royko's "Desert," Jasmine Green's "Bad Habits," and Matilda Finn's "Today”.  She has also lent her artistic touch to installations, including the permanent collection for the McKinsey Firm and Lillian Blades' visual installation for the Beltline in Atlanta, GA.  Toxosi's artistic prowess has made its mark in the world of literature and photography, and her work has been featured on platforms like TNE's Global Podcast, Black Contemporary Art on Tumblr, and Neptune Magazine, to name a few. She has exhibited her creations at prestigious venues such as The Factory in St. Pete, Arts Xchange in St. Pete, and the "Internationalist Spirit" exhibition in Havana, Cuba.  Saudade Toxosi's journey as an artist is not just marked by her creative output but also by her dedication to supporting the arts community through collaborations, installations, and lectures. Her influence extends beyond the canvas, making her a true visionary in the world of contemporary art.   To learn more about Saudade Toxosi and her work, visit www.stoxosi.com | @stoxosi | https://equinox1600-saudadetoxosi.tumblr.comVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

A lifelong lover of museums, Kimberly Drew's entry into the working world of art started with creating a Tumblr page dedicated to Black art and culture called Black Contemporary Art. The page immediately took off and helped her land a social media manager gig at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Entering the space through her digital experience helped Kimberly fulfill her goal of bringing art to a wider audience, reinvigorating and diversifying the MET's digital presence. After leaving her post at the MET, she decided to focus on the intersection of art and commerce eventually releasing her own book, This is What I Know About Art and co-authoring Black Futures. Today, Kimberly continues her work as an author while also being the curator at world reknown Pace Gallery.Co-Founder of Claima and Former Nike Marketer, Bimma Williams interviews leading and emerging creatives and entrepreneurs of color about how they were able to build their own tables by turning their hobbies, side hustles, and ideas into thriving small businesses.

Over the past 7 years, writer and curator Kimberly Drew has unabashedly made a name for herself within the world of art and fashion. She’s already interviewed icons like Lupita Nyong'o, and Tina Lawson. She’s served bold looks on the runways of Chromat, and Collina Strada. Looking back on her career, Drew notes that “if I had come in with less love [for art], I wouldn’t have been as successful.” That love first began in her hometown of Orange, New Jersey- a community that Kimberly describes as “culturally rich”. It then carried her to Smith College, where she studied African American Studies and Art History. Finally, it brought her to THE Thelma Golden (AKA “Beyonce of the art world”) at the Studio Museum in Harlem. From there, Drew went on to create the extremely successful Tumblr blog, Black Contemporary Art, which is solely dedicated to highlighting black artists and landed a dream role managing social for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, before going out to do her own thing full-time. Listen to this episode, and you’ll realize why the witty and enlightened Ms.Drew is adored by so many.

Sir Sargent, as he’s known on social media, represents a new wave of art writers and critics focused on Black contemporary art and its evolving role in an international African diasporic consciousness. He was born in Chicago as Antwaun Sargent, and has called New York home since 2011. When he first arrived in New York City, he was a kindergarten teacher, but he soon discovered his interest in telling the stories of Black artists and sharing his insights on into a contemporary art world often perceived as opaque and inaccessible. He’s since co-curated his first exhibition, spoken at countless events, and is now working on a book. I invited our news editor, Jasmine Weber, to join me in this conversation to learn about Sargent’s thought on a scene that is getting more attention than ever. A special thanks to Amani Fela for providing the music for this episode.
