For Us, By Us w/ Dr. Fahamu Pecou and Stephanie Fleming
from Studio Noize: Black Art Podcast · host jamaal barber
What does it look like to have an art institution built for Black artists and audiences throughout the diaspora? Today we talk about the African Diaspora Art Museum of Atlanta (ADAMA) with founder, Dr Fahamu Pecou and interim village chief, Stephanie Flemming. This is not a Black version of a white museum. It’s a space that honors, uplifts, and celebrates the culture of the diaspora. We talk about the programs like the Bridge Residency and PassPortal, how to build a new institution, and connecting with Blackness around the world.

I am passionate about how people of African descent construct identity and discover agency in a world that insists upon misconstrued narratives. I love working with ADAMA because it feels like home and the institutional extension of my art practice. For me ADAMA is where I can bring my whole self with joy, as a Jamaican Black woman, an artist, a storyteller, facilitator, and cultivator.DR. FAHAMU PECOU, Founder of ADAMAI am an interdisciplinary artist and scholar whose works combine observations on hip-hop, fine art, and popular culture to address concerns around contemporary representations of Black men. Through paintings, performance art, and academic work, I confront the performance of Black masculinity and Black identity, challenging and expanding the reading, performance and expressions of Blackness.See More: adamatl.org + ADAMA IG @adama_atl Follow us:StudioNoizePodcast.comIG: @studionoizepodcastJamaal Barber: @JBarberStudioSupport the podcast www.patreon.com/studionoizepodcast
