Object as...with Bukola Koiki encore

2022-11-22

This is a rebroadcast of a podcast from June 10th, 2022 presented as an encore for anyone who missed it. During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the in-between spaces of immigrant life were made more acute for Bukola Koiki than ever. Searching for the feeling of home during the seemingly endless isolation of that time, she found herself comforted in abstracted forms and shapes of houses. The Pull was made in response to her yearning for Nigeria and beloved family members.
