The Witch’s Flight is guided by the question; “What does freedom SOUND like?” Taking heed to this, amapiano becomes a portal and a sonic guide to diverse freedom dreams. The Witch’s Flight is the quest for a Black feminist sensibility structured in a series of sonic experimentations that center South Africa and the larger African diaspora.

On this month’s episode, Zama is joined by multidisciplinary artist Uréchi Oguguo for an artist conversation about their creative practice and how they queer the visual field by engaging African diasporic sensibilities of art.

Uréchi Oguguo is a New York City-based, Lagos-born illustrator, space maker, storyteller, and designer. Their creative practice encompasses a wide range of mediums, including handcrafts, illustration, and spatial design, all with a focus on celebrating and amplifying narratives of rest, care, and tenderness that are often overlooked in discussions of Blackness. Inspired by their artistic pursuits, Uréchi is the visionary behind “Make Space”, a transformative initiative that provides a free and accessible gathering place for makers to reignite their creative passions. By organizing inclusive events where friends, artists, and crafters come together, Uréchi fosters a sense of community and collective creativity. Uréchi also serves as a Board of Director at Ubuntu Education, Inc., an organization dedicated to decolonizing and recalibrating the field of architecture through more equitable and socially conscious design education.
