Join Associate Curator, Arts of Africa, Dr Qanita Lilla in conversation with artists, poets, performers, activists and curators. You’ll hear stories about creative visions that powerfully convey why art and artists are critically important right now. In this third season, Dr Lilla and guests discuss (among many things!): ways of being in the world; possibilities for liberatory futures; the essential nature of collective practice and the need for Spiritual growth–all as means for survival!  

Episodes of With Opened Mouths are released monthly and you can find them on Digital Agnes, CFRC’s website and on your favourite podcasting platform starting 31 January, 2025. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode!
