#56; SHAKE 🌎 feat. Tunde Wey

Happy Thoughts Podcast: Episode 56 https://www.kristitchin.com/shop This episode features Tunde Wey! He is a Nigerian social practice artist using food, finance, and investment capital to address economic disparities across geographies and demographies. I met Tunde at the Hearth Summit at Omega Institute where he addressed social and global disparities and opportunities for change; I gave him Happy Thoughts and now here he is on the podcast! Tunde is an extremely curious person with an ability to confront disparities confidently and delicately; he got a lot of info out of me and he's gone some amazing places! Tunde's work engages systems that create material disparity, focusing particularly on how economics and finance impact working class Black people globally. He uses performance and installation, film, food, writing and finance to confront disparities in material conditions and attempt interventions to address these socially constructed inequalities. His work has been featured in The New York Times, NPR, GQ, The Washington Post, VOGUE, Black Enterprise, Food and Wine, and his writing has appeared in the Oxford American, Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, Roads & Kingdom and a couple cookbooks/ anthologies. His docuseries is a 2024 CANNESERIES Official Selection. He is a recipient of the Monroe Fellowship from Tulane University (2023) and the Ford Foundation Just Films Grant (2022). He is currently working on a book of essays to be published with MCD (a division of Farrar, Straus & Giroux).
