Episode notes
This week on the podcast, we’re joined by the acclaimed sculptor Sokari Douglas Camp.
Sokari takes us through her remarkable journey in steel sculpture - how she discovered the medium, and how it became a powerful tool for creating monumental, research-driven, and at times, kinetic works of art.
She reflects on her early life in Rivers State, Nigeria, her adoption, and the experience of being sent to England as a young child.
We chat about a couple of her works including Battle Bus, a memorial to murdered activist Ken Saro-Wiwa which was seized upon entering Nigeria by authorities and never seen again.
