Live recording featuring Busy Being Black’s Josh Rivers in conversation with Otamere Guobadia discussing queer love, art, and poetry.
Otamere Guobadia’s debut – Unutterable Visions, Perishable Breath – is a gorgeous collection of writings that embody poetic sequences and fragmented poetry as queer forms. In a live recording of the award-winning podcast Busy Being Black, hosted within the Chapel at House of St Barnabas, Josh Rivers and Otamere Guobadia bring to life a conversation that explores the intimacies, vanities, and vulnerabilities of queer love in the 21st-century, art as rebellion and resistance, and poetry as a tool for unearthing the truths of our time.
Josh Rivers is the creator and host of the award-winning podcast Busy Being Black, a social justice communications professional, and a public speaker. All of his work is a testament to his commitment to being an advocate for and amplifier of communities and perspectives so often overlooked and underrepresented.
Otamere Guobadia is a multidisciplinary writer, poet, and columnist whose work focuses on desire, art, adornment, queerness, and agency, within cultures high, low, and popular. His work has appeared in British Vogue, i-D, Dazed, GQ, The Guardian, Vogue Italia, Wonderland, The BBC, The Independent, and AnOther Magazine, among other publications. His first book, Unutterable Visions, Perishable Breath, was released on January 4, 2024.
