SWWP #57 - Wendell Cole On His New Paint Series, Race & Politics

Today I’m joined by Wendell Cole. He's a Brooklyn-born, self-taught, multi-disciplinary artist based in New York. His work dives into the Black diaspora, cultural identity, and the politics that shape how we’re seen and how we see ourselves.We start by unpacking his journey as an artist and how his style has evolved over time. But midway through, the conversation takes an unexpected turn. It become an honest therapy session for both of us.Through the lens of his new six-piece series, “What Does The American Flag Mean To You?”, we explore what it really means to feel like an outsider in your own country, how that tension shapes identity, influences decisions, and impacts perception.Tune in for a powerful conversation on art, identity, and everything in between.Socials Channels: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/somethingwrongwithpod/Twitter - https://x.com/swwpodcast_https://linktr.ee/savewithjulianTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@juliannicholas11
