145: Ken Nwadiogbu | Radio Juxtapoz

We often said with Juxtapoz that the power of art is to make people feel engaged, feel good and feel ownership over both their community and the world-at-large. Art makes you feel alive, makes you thoughtfully engaged, whether the art challenges you or makes you just have a smile on your face. It's the beauty of it: art allows you to activate yourself. On the occasion of Ken Nwadiogbu taking part in the River Centre Development at Hellesdon Hospital in Norwich, where he the London-based painter transformed the walls of Hellesdon hospital, we found it a good time to finally get a chance here at Radio Juxtapoz to pay Ken and visit and see what he is up to. With Ken's solo show at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery in Berlin on this summer, we had a lot to catch up on with the Nigerian-bon painter. The Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by FIFTH WALL TV's Doug Gillen and Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco. Episode 145 was recorded in the London in August 2024.
