For this episode I sat down for tea and some cheesecake with King Houndekpinkou, a contemporary ceramic artist with Beninese roots. I was lucky enough to catch him inbetween his travels and international exhibitions to chat about his upbringing in the suburbs of Paris, his work and relationship to clay, his love for videogames, how a trip to Japan made him turn his life around, his special connection to the colour pink and the upcoming historical event in the capital of Benin: the official return of the royal artefacts to the Kingdom of Dahomey.
