In this special release, host Sarah Rachel Brown shares an episode from the American Craft Podcast series Object As… Throughout 2021 and 2022 Sarah worked closely with American Craft Magazine as host and producer of the series in conjunction to helping them launch the podcast. The 6 episode series has been released and we are honored to share one of the insightful interview with Nigerian-American artist Bukola Koiki with the Perceived Value listeners. Find the American Craft Podcast and subscribe wherever you listen. More on the Object As… series.Objects fashioned by craft artists can do more than appeal to the eye and hand. They can speak to our cultural, political, environmental, and social climates. They can comment on today’s issues and inspire conversations. They can be acts of rebellion.That’s the point of the “Object As . . .” project, for which six artists were chosen by six curators selected by the American Craft Council. The artists (and the curators who chose them) are Morel Doucet (Sanjit Sethi), James Maurelle (Jennifer-Navva Milliken), Leandro Gómez Quintero (Stuart Ashman), Bukola Koiki (Malene Barnett), Ebitenyefa Baralaye (Andrew Blauvelt), and Alex Anderson (Suzanne Isken).Supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, the artists created works that speak—subtly, directly, intimately, publicly—about issues that matter to them. The works testify to the diversity of makers and practices and to the ongoing impact of craft on our lives. Bukola is a Nigerian-American conceptual fiber artist, scholar, and student of textiles and fiber-based sculpture, printmaking, and book arts. She is seeking a tenure-track position in fibers and material culture, fiber-based sculpture, and printmaking departments with unconventional, visionary mindsets about the many intriguing possibilities at the confluence of art, craft, and printmaking!
