The Native [Nigerian] Podcast is a platform to document black origin stories and create global connections between diasporic archives and practices. The first season features a Nigerian curator, a South African architectural historian, a Brazilian artist, a British-Ghanaian architect and educator, and four British-Nigerian entrepreneurs working across fashion, digital experiences, plastic, and palm liquor.
The title ‘The Native [Nigerian]’ reframes the condition of ‘native’ beyond the Nigerian context by examining the ways in which oppressive and extractive systems have altered communities globally. Each episode explores the complexities of Black identities across the globe, and deconstructs the concept of belonging in intimate conversations addressing themes of colonial legacies, care, kinship, and migration. In partnership with featured guests, the podcast creates a new space for discovery and unpack stories about the mind and body, origin, process, culture, space, and environmental agency.
