Evan Ifekoya in Conversation with KJ Abudu | Resonant Frequencies | Migros Museum

Published on the occasion of Evan Ifekoya’s major solo exhibition, Resonant Frequencies, at Migros Museum in 2022, this extensive conversation in the accompanying catalogue traverses multiple conceptual and aesthetic strands in the artist’s sound-based practice, spanning Black queer and feminist thought, resonance physics, sensory studies, healing practices, and Ifá divination, among other topics. The interview situates Evan Ifekoya as part of an emergent generation of artists recuperating and extending the affective, political and epistemological potentialities of sound. During our conversation, we discuss the overarching concepts that guide and anchor Ifekoya’s research-intensive and process-driven art, touching on their journey to producing sound-led work, their insistent self-identification as a practitioner, and their recent exploration into drumming and object-making.
