Tuesday, 30 March, 2021

In this episode, Maachew Bentley joins us again with his friend & fellow photographer, Mahaneela to talk about culture experiences, food, travel and more..⁣⁣Mahaneela is a multidisciplinary artist from London with roots in Ghana, India and Jamaica. Her work explores the themes of diasporic history, music and culture, with a focus on the black experience and emphasis on depicting black and brown people in modes of joy and happiness.⁣⁣In a direct response to the lack of representation black and asian people in the mainstream media, she hopes to provide a new perspective, one that is bright, beautiful and authentic. Aside from her photography and filmmaking work, Mahaneela is a creative strategist and consultant, working with artists, labels and brands to ideate and execute real world activations and events among other creative outputs.⁣⁣Maachew Bentley is an evolving creative birthed & raised in Queens, New York. His pursuits interweave photography, private curation, and music production into a hybrid of expressions on and offline. Having earned his stripes in the latter, from the festival circuit in Europe to the nightclubs of Southeast Asia, Maachew has developed one of the most pliable sets of his peers. Bringing breaks through UKG, drum n bass, house, reggae, and techno, he’s exercised BPM for every palate. In 2020, he launched the radio extension of Street Dreams Magazine as Music Director.⁣ ⁣@mahaneela.jpg⁣⁣. @maachewbentley⁣⁣.
