Episode 7: Raphael Ogoe Black Men We Know
-
- Comedy Interviews
In this episode, we get to talk with an architect, a profession that has held my admiration and interest since I was a kid. My guest was architect and artist Raphael Ogoe of Rafagoe Studio https://rafogoe.com. In this eye-opening conversation, the Ghanaian-American designer walks us down his path to today, from his childhood passions and early views on America to his move from Accra to New Jersey for study and his awakening to race and racism in the US to his experience studying and working in architecture. While his work on Philly's Museum of the American Revolution and the Museum of Black Civilization in Dakar and other major projects is noteworthy, his work in historical preservation and advocating art and art education for youth in Ghana is no less impressive or important. Join us for all this, but also for his reminiscences about the swagger of Denzel and the beauty of his first fast-food job paycheck in the US.
