In Conversation with Daniel Kojo Schrade

Broadening the Understanding of Diaspora

Daniel Kojo Schrade is a German-born painter known for his retro-futuristic art from an Afrofuturist perspective. Also working across drawing and performance, Schrade has consistently integrated conceptually relevant writing elements into his works, either alongside repeated motifs such as the “Afronaut” figure, or as abstract, non-figurative compositions. He is currently professor of art humanities, arts, and cultural studies at Hampshire College in the US. We talked to the artist about the indivisibility of his work as an artist and as a teacher, the differences between students in the USA and elsewhere, and how he broadens his understanding of the complexity of diaspora.
