ST!LL BLOOM!NG: Artist Conversations | Episode #1 — Komi Olaf

In this episode, I sit down with Toronto-based, Nigerian-born visual artist and poet Komi Olafimihan to explore Afrofuturism, ancestral memory, and decolonization through art. Komi's work in ST!LL BLOOM!NG, including Empress Sheba and Wildflower (Mary Ann Shadd Cary) meditates powerfully on belonging, African diasporic history, and cultural sovereignty.

We discuss his creative process, the intentionality behind every symbol, and how art becomes a site of ceremony and resistance. This is a conversation about truth seeking, bold vision, and painting the stories that need to be told 365 days a year.

Listen now and be inspired.
