About this episode

Daramfon Morgan discusses his work as a visual artist and cultural storyteller, exploring themes of identity and community.

Daramfon Morgan is a Canadian Nigerian visual artist and the founder of DCM ART CREATIONS, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. His work explores identity, culture, and memory through a bold visual language that blends African heritage, Caribbean influence, and contemporary expression. Working primarily in digital painting, his pieces are known for their rich colour, layered symbolism, and ability to tell stories that resonate across the diaspora.

His work reflects the lived experiences, traditions, and evolving narratives of Black communities, while also pushing into modern spaces such as public art, exhibitions, and digital platforms. His practice sits at the intersection of culture and innovation, with a growing focus on art licensing, murals, and large-scale visual storytelling. Beyond his studio practice, Daramfon brings a unique perspective shaped by his professional work in social development and community systems. This influence shows up in the intention behind his work, which often centres on visibility…
