Fahamu Pecou describes his artwork, background and the use of protest in art.
“I make art in a form of protest, but more so in a form of love.”
Pecou is an interdisciplinary artist and scholar whose works combine observations on hip-hop, fine art and popular culture. Pecou’s paintings, performance art and academic work address concerns around contemporary representations of Black masculinity and how these images impact both the reading and performance of Black masculinity.
