In this episode, we sit down with Joke Amusan, the German-Nigerian textile artist whose work has been showcased at Tate Modern and Berlin’s Haze Gallery. She’s been featured in British Vogue and collaborated with global brands like Muji, and now, she welcomes us into her studio for an intimate conversation.

Joke opens up about the power of storytelling through textiles, how identity and impact shape her practice, and what it means to live with defiant joy. We dive into her rituals, creative process, cultural duality, a Vogue-inspired rapid-fire round, one-word legacy reflections, and a fun “What’s In Her Bag” segment.

Episode Highlights include:
- What makes a story unforgettable 
- The moment she knew she was walking in her purpose
- A principle that has kept her grounded across cultures and spaces
