In this episode of Future Memories, our host Kem Kem plays and discusses the score of her film installation Guardian Angel. She invites Ngozi Olojede, a designer, collaborator and friend to discuss how they conceptualised and brought the film to life in space and time.

Ngozi is a spatial designer and collaborator of our host Kem Kem. Enthused by the politics and psychology of space-making, her work centers on the research and intent behind each design decision. Ngozi's practice extends also to production & set design, exhibition design and experiential programming.

Nigerian origin. American born. South African raised. As a third culture kid who grew up on three different continents, experiencing so many places, cultures, and people brought me to the psychology of spaces — how we feel in and navigate them based on our different understandings of function and beauty. Ngozi and Kem Kem collaborated on Guardian Angel where Ngozi led production design.
