“ego does not help evolve art” - Kwame Asafo-Adjei Creator of Family Honour

Join Kwame Asafo-Adjei and me in discussing his project called Family Honour. Family Honour is a raw exploration of family and personal trauma, putting audiences in the front seat for tense, honest confrontations that go generations deep. Kwame Asafo-Adjei is a dance artist who fuses his hip hop training with contemporary dance and his Ghanaian background, often exploring the development of Black culture, themes of tension and release are ever-present in his provocative work.

We talk about his creative process in developing family honour, he discusses his upbringing and his experience of being sent back to Ghana. We also touch on leadership, African culture and parents, ego and self-reflection. 

Family Honour plays at Sadler Well's Theatre in Angel (London) on the 14/15th of September.
