(De)constructing Portraiture - Luther Konadu & Leslie Wilson

The fourth episode of Foam Talks welcomes photographer Luther Konadu and art historian and curator Leslie Wilson. The starting point of the conversation is Konadu's project Figure as Index. Together with host Mirjam Kooiman, they will reflect on the photographic portrait as a powerful instrument in (de)constructing representation. Foam produced this episode as part of a special series of podcasts on the occasion of Foam Talent 2020. Each episode focusses on one artist aiming to evoke a conversation around their approach, offer an insight into the discourses surrounding a specific project, contextualizing it within the photography field while not forgetting the personal stories and dreams behind it. In addition, each conversation features a special guest that has a shared professional or personal connection to the artist. The encounters are moderated by Mirjam Kooiman, curator of this year's Foam Talent exhibition.
