Vessels of Revolution: Akinsanya Kambon on Art, Black Panther Legacy & Liberation [EPISODE]
Synopsis: Step into the studio of ceramicist Akinsanya Kambon, where ancient traditions meet revolutionary fervor: here, stunning works born from earthy materials recount tales of resistance, redemption, and hope across generations and geography.
Description: With each glimmering piece he creates, artist Akinsanya Kambon brings suppressed histories of both colonization and liberation to life. His ceramic works depict struggle and survival across the African diaspora, and stepping into his studio is a spiritual experience, as Laura Flanders recently discovered. Join Flanders and Kambon as they discuss how art keeps spirits alive.
Guest: Akinsanya Kambon, Artist, Former Marine, Black Panther & Art Professor
