Interludes: Forgetting Eden

Forgetting Eden features the voice of Rahima Gambo who shares her reflections based on her practice and project Education is Forbidden and Tatsuniya.Rahima’s deeply layered mixed media engagement is about the aftermath of conflict, the nature of memory and the echoes and consequences of colonial education in north eastern Nigeria.Discover more of Rahima's work on her Instagram and her website. Interludes is a collaboration between Shade Podcast and Axel Kacoutié featuring six contemporary artists: Amy Sherald, Ming Smith, Phoebe Boswell, Rahima Gambo, Nnena Kalu and Cassi Namoda.Framed by the question "What does healing sound like?", these podcasts offer a visceral connection with the artists' work. In each episode we weave the artists' reflections through Axel's original soundscapes, as a collaborative exploration of their creative experience.The aim is to soften our tendency to intellectualise artwork, and instead create a sonic texture that is more intimate in its connection with the artist.Concept & Production by Lou Mensah Created by Axel KacoutiéInterludes is supported by Hauser & WirthRead more about this series in Hauser & Wirth Ursula Magazine Additional support by Frieze Membership, the community that champions art.
