For this episode I invited Maja ∀. Ngom - a Polish-Senegalese multidisciplinary artist currently based in London. Maja's body of work is shaped by her unique experience of coming from an intergenerational and multi-ethnic family and explores issues of identity in the context of belonging and displacement.

Our conversation circulated around Maja's mixed media installation 'The Sweet Taste of Otherness', her unique relation to writing, colonial structures operating in non-colonial countries, as well as about European museums and ways of decolonizing them.
