Artist Lavar Munroe infuses his work with a cornucopia of influences and personal experiences, including his Christian upbringing, travel, anthropological research and the trauma of losing his mother as a child. Colourful and visually arresting, his art can also be deeply unsettling. He's not afraid to grapple with darker emotions and often feels compelled to offer critique on societal ills.
In this podcast series, the Chicago Booth School of Business explores the themes portrayed in the art on view at its London campus. Taking a pioneering approach, the school uses art as a tool to inspire curiosity in its MBA students and to stimulate discussion around global issues.
Join presenter Emma Clark as she interviews curators and artists to unpack the complexities in their work and explore how art deals with globalisation, racial identity, gender, the role of media and so much more.
