Episode 004: Limitless Visions (Mikael Owunna)

July 25, 2017

In this episode, Nigerian-Swedish-American photographer Mikael Owunna discusses his project, Limit(less), which documents the fashion and style of LGBTQ Africans in North America and Europe. Owunna explores queer African style in the diaspora in order to debunk the myth that being LGBTQ is somehow “un-African.”

Check out Limit(less) at http://limitlessafricans.com/ and Mikael's whole portfolio at http://mikaelowunna.com/.

Here's one of the photographs we discussed in our conversation:
