The transmission moves through tunnels, flyovers, debris fields, and rustbelt landscapes -encountering states of decline, delirium, and heroic obedience through modular sound, spoken word, sonic residue, and bureaucratic fiction (April 2025).

• Ultraviolet Art Talks Season 15 EP07 Maurice Leoni-Osion

  On this episode, Caren Sullivan talks to multidisciplinary artist Maurice Leoni-Osion in 2023.Maurice Leoni-Osion is a Multidisciplinary Artist and Program Director based in Berlin, DE, and Richmond, VA in US. His multicultural approach to Hip-Hop, combined with a deep love for Sci-Fi Thrillers, Afrofuturism, and Record-Artchiving, informs his artistic practice that spans across various mediums: poetry, literature, sound art, music production, film, art programs, exhibitions, and immersive performances—driven by a desire to celebrate and preserve the powerful, untold stories that lie at the intersection of the eyemaginariums of his youth and ancient “tecknowledgey” of his ancestors.Within the layered entendre of his music youniverse, Maurice sees Hip-Hop as a constant companion and presence likened to a kindred, extended family member, deeply intertwined with a sense of collective memory. His work is often rooted in research from an underground artchivediscovered at a young age, stemming from his grandmother’s beloved record collection, which inspired a love for visual storytelling and ancestral lineage celebrated in album art and liner notes.These formative experiences would cultivate an environment that fueled Maurice’s unconventional practice as an artist, performer, and director, empowering him to REvolve living narratives that connect the accounts of our experience to the past, present, and future.Follow Ultraviolet Art Talks on Instagram @_ultravioletarttalks_For more information, follow Maurice Leoni-Osion on Instagram @mauriceleoniosion Hosted on Acast.
