Welcome, listeners, to another episode of Be Inspired! Today, we have the privilege of delving into the dynamic world of Miyakah Emon, a visionary artist hailing from the Canadian prairies. Miyakah's journey is as remarkable as their art, weaving together threads of black identity, neurodiversity, and a profound connection to ancestral wisdom.
Drawing inspiration from the legacy of Jean-Michel Basquiat and other luminaries of the black diaspora, Miyakah's work pulsates with vitality, offering a window into the rich tapestry of their lineage. But Miyakah does more than just pay homage to the past; they are a bridge between generations, honoring their ancestry while fearlessly charting a course toward the future.
Through their art, they invite us to question, to reflect, and to envision a world transformed by the power of creativity and consciousness.
Miyakah Emon takes the stage to share their insights, their passion, and their art.In their latest solo exhibit at the Riverdale Hub. Meet the Artist on Saturday, March 23rd, from 2 - 4 pm. Artist Talk: 3 pm.
Get ready to be inspired.
