    090 - Creative Plagiarism ft. Daniel Oduntan - [S5]

    090 - Creative Plagiarism ft. Daniel Oduntan - [S5]

    "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness". The second part of this famous Oscar Wilde quote is conveniently left out of the conversation when we speak about imitation but it's not the only thing left undiscussed. What happens when that imitation forces you out of your job, affects your finances and impacts your mental health?

    Ade and Bonita are joined by Daniel Oduntan, an interdisciplinary media artist to discuss this very topic and why he took to social media to create a 5-day gallery exposing his former employer, the V&A Museum, for ripping off and erasing the ideas of he and other black creatives.
