#27 | Báyò Akómoláfé | The Trickster Worldview | Esu & the Crossroads

Báyò Akómoláfé joins the show today to discuss the role of Tricksters and Monsters in connecting us into emergent thought and taking us beyond our regular programming of 'two-ness'.

Báyò is a poet at heart and a deep thinker. He sees himself as a 'trans-public intellectual'; (a concept imagined together with and inspired by the shamanic priesthood of the Yoruba healer-trickster)- whose vocation goes beyond justice and speaking truth to power to opening up other spaces of power-with, and queering fond formulations and configurations of hope.

Discover more about Báyò from his website: www.bayoakomolafe.net.

We discuss concepts from his short booklet called I, Coronavirus. Mother. Monster. Activist and I also reference the book Pan, the Great God's Modern Return.
