In episode 14 Rowan and Nick chat with New York based photographer Delphine Diallo about her life, lockdown and learning kung fu from the same teacher as Wu Tang’s RZA. 

Diallo left a corporate job as a graphic designer and entered the world of photography after meeting acclaimed photographer Peter Beard at a dinner party. Since then she has been an unstoppable force exhibiting her work globally and collaborating with brands such as Nike, Vogue and Converse as well as with fellow artists Shepherd Fairey and JR. 

In this episode we talk about Diallo's photography practice and how it has, more recently, lead to making intricate collage works. We discuss why she felt the move from her home in Paris to New York was a necessary one and why it has provided much wider scope for creative opportunities. 

Diallo talks passionately about her spiritual path and how that, combined with her artistic practice, has helped her to stay creative during lockdown.
