Abiodun Oyewole

2011

Participation in the Workshops/Performances from October 2010 to June 2011
Art residency in La Courneuve : June, 2011.

Abiodun Oyewole will oversee and critique the work of the Family of Poets in Harlem. Oyewole will also do an artist residency in La Courneuve where he will work in collaboration with Laster on a video about the urban atmosphere. He will contribute a text that will be juxtaposed with Laster’s images of the city. The residency will also be the opportunity for him to explore The Last Poets’ legacy and its impact on the local community as a paradigm for the global influence of hip-hop.
