On this episode, we're happy to welcome Hakeem Adewumi to the podcast. After graduating with a degree in African and African Diaspora Studies from the University of Texas at Austin, Hakeem (he/him) was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship scholarship to Johannesburg, South Africa. His work has been exhibited at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, MA; Houston Museum of African American Culture, Houston, TX; the George Washington Carver Museum and Culture Center, Austin, TX; the Janette Kennedy Gallery, Dallas, TX; and is in the collection of the Phyllis and Ross Escalette Permanent Collection, Chapman University. Over the years Adewumi has pursued thoughtful creative endeavors including the ongoing experimental project, Juneteenth House. This multidisciplinary project merges design and art to create vivid and obscure bodies of work about Black life in Texas.
