In GBA 326 we get better acquainted with Tobi from the Arts Performed Podcast. We'd already warmed up by the time we recorded this conversation with me recording an interview for his podcast and so we get into things pretty quickly. Tobi talks cultural studies, artist and resistance, navigating the world with ADHD and dyslexia, how his relationship with being the child of a Guyanese migrant has changed over his life, systems of oppression, what he has learnt from people he has interviewed on his podcast and so much more.
Content note: racism, slavery, colonialism
