We recently connected with Dimitri Milbrun and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Dimitri thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you tell us a bit about who your hero is and the influence they’ve had on you?
I have few heroes who influenced my work and how I see it. I grew with them and my work grew too. I’m totally aware about the fact that they are only humans and I’m kind of agree with the “never meet your heroes” quote. I can say my greatest hero is George Clinton, leader of Parliament/Funkadelic. George Clinton taugh me how free my mind and let my ass follow. Through his music, his lyrics, he helped me to understand some places in my mind where I wouldn’t go because I was too scared for.
Fela Kuti is also one of my hero for the courage he got. He’s one of the most courageous man I know, he fought the oppessive Nigérian politics with his art with so much strenght, I admire him a lot.
Tupac and Jimi Hendrix are also my heroes.
Dimitri, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I’m an artist, plastician, and cartoonist. I do represent fights and struggles about colonialism and the history of my country, Haïti
Alright – so here’s a fun one. What do you think about NFTs?
I don’t have particular views in NFT’s. I think I’m just curious about it. I don’t know that much about it but I know that some artists sold some arts through that and it might have an impact on the art business. Actually I don’t really know but I’m curious about it and I might be interested if someone explain me what the hell is this
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
The book Black Jacobins by CLR James
