We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Khalil McFarland a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Khalil thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear about the things you feel your parents did right and how those things have impacted your career and life.
I’ve come to understand that they played their roles the best they could, with what they had. Their sacrifices—though often unseen or unspoken—have without a doubt shaped me into the person I am today.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
A multidisciplinary artist from Baltimore, Maryland. Growing up, I was shaped by the duality of Baltimore’s vibrant artistic scene and the challenges of an environment marked by institutional neglect. Through my art, I aim to connect with my community,
celebrating the vibrancy of Black identity and culture. Each piece invites viewers to engage with it’s embedded stories, fostering a shared understanding of our collective experiences.
