Tschabalala Self's Audio Work Cotton Mouth Explores Black Pop Culture on ArtReview Podcast

Artist Tschabalala Self has created an audio piece titled Cotton Mouth that examines contemporary Black pop culture through sound collage and oral history techniques. The work was featured on ArtReview's podcast Subject, Object, Verb, where Self both performed and discussed the piece. The podcast episode explores connections between artistic practice, cultural production, and lived experience. Host Ross Simonini guided the conversation about this sonic exploration of cultural narratives. ArtReview collaborated with Simonini to produce this episode focusing on Self's multidisciplinary approach. The audio work represents a departure from Self's primary medium of painting into auditory storytelling. Cotton Mouth weaves together various sonic elements to construct its cultural narrative.
