And now the episode. We talk about Lauren Halsey’s exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery, curated by Lizzie Carey-Thomas and Chris Bayley. 

It's a maximalist environment that led us to a discussion about art, freedom, identity, revolution and care. It also allowed us to find out more about the myths and origins of the term Afro-Futurism, which surprised us a great deal.

We also mention Emily's friend, an artist using street signs in her work. Go to Instagram and check her out! @janeroerevolution
