In this episode of ’74PODCAST Series, Culture in a time of Crises, Aman Mojadidi, an artist of Afghani American decent, talks to Shwetal A. Patel about the realities of growing up in a racially charged Jacksonville, Florida, his shifting identities and adopted personas (“Afghan by blood, redneck by the grace of God”) and his personal journey with shamanic teachings. Mojadidi also shares his feelings on how things have changed after the arrival of COVID-19.
“I think that there has been this kind of shift in consciousness that I’m talking about with myself. I feel like it is happening in different ways and on different levels with quite a lot of people at the moment globally. And this, for me, is an incredible bright spot.” -Aman Mojadidi, Artist
