Design unmuted is a podcast engaging with social justice and critical perspectives in design, art and all things creative.
Episode 13: Afrofuturism and Decolonizing art & Hogwarts houses
In this episode, my guest is Krystal Paraboo; an art historian and curator, community builder, communications specialist and activist. Krystal and I talk about decolonizing art spaces, curatorial activism, afrofuturism and we nerd out a bit on Harry Potter (mostly Krystal). We talk about work, productivity and mental health. Krystal also shares all about the Black Strathcona Resurgence Project which centered Black storytelling through public murals.
Episode 10: About “Sankofa: African Routes, Canadian Roots”
A note from the Host
Hello! I am Divine and I host and produce the Design Unmuted podcast. I am a storyteller, landscape designer, artist, and educator. I started the podcast to share stories that inspire us all to expand our minds and hearts.
As an advocate for social justice, I engage in conversations on the ways design and art can help us build more just and beautiful communities. I don’t shy away from difficult conversations, because there’s always (bad) jokes and laughter around the corner to lift our spirits as we need it.
If you’re about building community, justice and good vibes, join the Design unmuted community and the other folks who chose to move beyond convention and learn critical perspectives of design, art and all things creative.
Thank you for you for choosing Design unmuted.
