Show Notes
In this episode we are joined by Enuma Okoro, a columnist for Financial Times Weekend, where her globally read column, The Art of Life, explores the intersection of art, philosophy, spirituality, ecology, and culture—all in service of understanding the human condition. At the core of her work is a deep belief in the power of narrative—how the stories we inherit and create shape our perception of the world and our place within it. She invites us to question the narratives we unconsciously live by—many of which are inherited from dominant cultural traditions.
Beyond her writing and lecturing, Enuma brings these themes to life through curatorial work. Most recently, she curated The Flesh of the Earth at Hauser & Wirth, an exhibition that invited audiences to rethink their relationship with nature. In this conversation, we explore Enuma’s journey, the ways myth, art, and storytelling shape us, and how we can use them as tools to reimagine both our personal and collective realities.
