In this episode, Terence Latimer reads from and reflects on Exhibiting Blackness by Bridget R. Cooks, a powerful exploration of African American art, museum politics, and the long fight for cultural representation.
From curatorial tension to historical erasure, this book reveals what it means to exhibit Blackness in institutions built to exclude. Terence ties these themes to the creative legacy of Akinsanya Kambon and the ongoing work of telling deeper, more truthful stories—through art, memory, and design.
Recorded at Black Cactus Co-Working in Twentynine Palms, near beautiful Joshua Tree National Park, this episode is part reading ritual, part cultural meditation.
