  • A Conversation with Artist Camilo Restrepo
    Feb 7 2025
    In this episode, I speak with artist Camilo Restrepo. Born in Colombia in the 70s, he grew up during the rise of the cocaine trade and saw firsthand the effects of the War on Drugs. He has since become an artist, with much of his work being commentary on this subject matter. Working in many mediums, he brings a unique approach to all of his pieces that I hope you all explore after listening.
