Bread from Lemons: The Transformative Power of Resilience

About this episode

 In this inspiring episode, Nigerian-born artist Jeremiah Onifadé joins Lisane Basquiat to share his extraordinary story of resilience, faith, and creative transformation. From surviving religious conflict as a teenager to discovering art as a means of healing and expression, Jeremiah’s journey reveals how adversity can shape purpose. His path from Nigeria to the U.S. and into the art world is a testament to survival through creativity and the power of believing in possibility.

Together, they explore how Jeremiah’s installations — like his recent Boat Project — serve as living metaphors for life’s journey, courage, and rebirth. The conversation dives deep into themes of displacement, emotional identity, and spiritual freedom, offering listeners an honest look at what it means to turn pain into purpose and struggle into art.

Represented by Nicole Plantin at Sœur Consulting Agency, Jeremiah continues to create work that bridges cultures and conversations, inspiring audiences to find beauty and strength in their own stories.
