What does it mean to be Black and queer in Ireland? In this episode, host Erick speaks with Diana Bamameke — Nigerian-born, Dublin-based curator, art writer, and transdisciplinary artist — for a wide-ranging conversation on identity, belonging, and creative resistance.
Diana shares insights from their writing residency with Mirror Lamp Press and The Complex, as well as their work published in frieze magazine. They also speak about their powerful performance piece "Limitancy," which explores the physical and emotional toll of navigating immigration systems.
Erick and Diana touch on the emerging concept of “Black Irish” identity, the dangers of Black capitalism, anti-Blackness in Irish culture, and the need for solidarity among Black queer communities worldwide.
