Description
Welcome to my seven part end of year series! New episodes will be released each weekday between Dec 13-21. Inspired by the Black radical tradition of the harmony between the lyrical and visual, I am joined by friends (artists, dancers, musicians and in today's episode an art specialist) to explore the musical influences that inspire their work. We also look to the people, real and imagined, familial and ancestral who guide them. Get ready to be inspired!Helene is Head of Sale and a specialist in Modern and Contemporary African art at Bonhams. She travels to Ghana regularly and specializes on art from that region. Her expertise also extends to 20th century Africa. Our conversation reveals just how knowledgeable Helene also is on African music and she recommends some excellent tunes from the continent that inspire her. We start our conversation hearing about a moment where she was talking with her SOAS tutor eight years ago, which led her on the journey to her current role at Bonhams. Stay tuned until the end to hear Helene's fantastic music recommendations!Please share this series and review! Thank you!ENJOY!
