Episode transcript available here.The Hip Hop Education Program at Hart House is heading into its second year and will be exploring the landscape of Canadian Hip Hop, both past and preset. This week in The West Meeting Room, co-hosts Jessica Rayne and Zoe Dille from the Hart House Programming team are are joined in conversation Adeyemi Adegbesan, AKA Yung Yemi, to discuss Afrofuturism, creative process, and the value of community and mentorship in the pursuit of artistic craft. Yemi is a Toronto-based photographic artist whose practice aims to examine the intersectionality of Black identity. He uses his art as a way of weaving together his connection with his community. Throughout the show, he brings us into his creative process where he remixes and samples history with reimaginings of the future. We are delighted to have Yung Yemi join us in conversation and take a closer look at his art and the work he's been doing with community. We are also excited to have him engaged in the Hart House Black Futures and Youth Access Programming. If you have not seen Yung Yemi’s work, be sure to follow him @yung.yemi on social media.
