Yomi Ayeni and the Stories of We Are From Dust

Episode Summary

Yomi is an impassioned and jovial part of the small team doing big things in the nonprofit arts organization “We Are From Dust.” The all Burner team is dedicated to proliferating interactive, participatory artwork in public spaces that transforms the way people engage with art, and changes how they consider their daily lives. In this time of dramatic changes for in-person experiences, We Are From Dust persists to support artists in our community, find new avenues for sharing participatory art around the globe, and support Black Lives Matter beyond first-world applications. Remember when “Press Here” became “Media Mecca” in Black Rock City 1998? Yomi and Andie do, and they tell some tales and laugh some laughs. Yomi is an award-winning Transmedia storyteller, film producer, and digital strategist, as well as an author, artist, record producer, and event organizer. In 2009, Breathe, Yomi’s first interactive feature film launched at the London International Film Festival, and recently he produced three large-scale installations for the Royal Observatory in London.
