Poetry of Witness is our fourth conversation in a series centering the Warscapes anthology Insurgent Feminisms: Writing War (Daraja Press). Featuring Otoniya J. Okot Bitek, Jehan Bseiso and Meg Arenberg. What is the poet's role in the event of the erasure of an entire people? Even as we deem certain acts of violence as “unspeakable” and “indescribable”? As the refrain “no words left” rings in our ears, many of us find ourselves seeking solace or sense from poetic language. Poetry and poets have long been understood (and also wilfully misunderstood) for the ability to deploy resistance to silence and to complicity. More than ever, words matter and words provide witness. Meg Arenberg will speak with poets Jehan Bseiso and Otonya J. Okot Bitek about their respective writing practice, their sense of poetry's role in a violent world, the value of poetry in the face of numbing horrors, and their specific work putting words to the unspeakable in Palestine and Rwanda.Otoniya Juliane Okot Bitek is an Acholi poet. Her 100 Days (University of Alberta 2016) a book of poetry that reflects on the meaning of memory two decades after the Rwanda genocide, was nominated for several writing prizes including the 2017 BC Book Prize, the Pat Lowther Award, the 2017 Alberta Book Awards and the 2017 Canadian Authors Award for Poetry. It won the 2017 IndieFab Book of the Year Award for poetry and the 2017 Glenna Luschei Prize for African Poetry. Otoniya's poem “Migration: Salt Stories” was shortlisted for the 2017 National Magazine Awards for Poetry in Canada. Her poem “Gauntlet” was longlisted for the 2018 CBC Poetry Prize and is the title of her most recent work, a chapbook with the same title from Nomados Press (2019). She is an assistant professor of Black Creativity at Queen's University in Kingston, which occupies the lands of the Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee people. Otoniya's work has been published widely online, in print and in literary magazines.Jehan Bseiso is a poet, researcher, and aid worker. Her poetry has been published on several online platforms. Her co-authored book I Remember My Name is the Palestine Book Awards winner in the creative category (2016). She is the co-editor of Making Mirrors: Writing/Righting by and for Refugees (2019). Jehan has been working with Médecins sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders since 2008.Meg Arenberg is an Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature in the Department of Humanities and the African Languages and Translation Program at the Africa Institute. She earned her Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Indiana University Bloomington in 2016. Prior to joining the Africa Institute, she completed postdoctoral research positions in the Department of African, Middle Eastern, and South Asian Languages and Literatures (AMESALL) at Rutgers University, New Brunswick and the African Humanities Colloquium at Princeton University. Arenberg is a scholar of 20th and 21st-century African literatures with particular research interests in intertextuality, Kiswahili poetics, translation studies, and digital media.Buy the book: https://darajapress.com/publication/insurgent-feminism-writing-war

In advance of Juneteenth 2024, we speak with University of Texas Professor Shirley Thompson, PhD '01, author of the forthcoming book No More Auction Block for Me, about how the experience of being treated as property has shaped the way that African Americans understand and relate to property themselves. Acknowledging the trauma of racism and white supremacy, Professor Thompson looks at the ways that community, creativity, and resilience enabled Black folk to assert their humanity in the face of objectification.

At Don't Call Me Resilient, we've been busy planning season 4 of the podcast, which starts to roll out in November. We're even starting to think about season 5. But we decided to stop production to talk about something we felt we couldn't ignore.We've watched this incredible spectacle around the Queen's death and public outpouring of support and love for the British monarchy.Here in Canada, Queen Elizabeth was the official head of state and her funeral this week was made a federal holiday. In Ontario, the Minister of Education directed schools to conduct a moment of silence “to recognize the profound impact of Queen Elizabeth II's lifelong and unwavering devotion to public service.”And yet next week, those same children will be exploring the history of Indian Residential Schools and the immense ongoing damage of that system — started and long supported by the Crown.In the middle of this outpouring of love and grief for the Queen — and the monarchy she represented — not everyone is feeling it. Not everyone wants to mourn or honour her or what she represents.And there are a lot of reasons why.For example, the head of the Assembly of First Nations, RoseAnne Archibald told CTV News that the Royal Family should apologize for the failures of the Crown …“particularly for the destructiveness of colonization on First Nations people.”Another example came from Uju Anya, professor at Carnegie Mellon University, who posted a tweet in which she identified the Queen as overseeing a “thieving raping genocidal empire.”To explore these ideas further, we reached out to two scholars who are regular contributors to Don't Call Me Resilient. Both say that the Queen's death could be a uniting moment of dissent for people from current and former colonies.Veldon Coburn is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Indigenous Research and Studies at the University of Ottawa where he teaches a class called Colonialism, Territory & Treaties. He is Anishinaabe, Algonquin from Pikwàkanagàn First Nation and the co-editor of Capitalism and Dispossession.Cheryl Thompson is Assistant Professor of media and culture at the School of Performance and the Director of the Laboratory for Black Creativity at Toronto Metropolitan University. She is the author of Uncle: Race, Nostalgia, and the Politics of Loyalty.

African Americans are the most creative people on the planet.

It is Black Creativity Season! As we begin our meditation on what role Black Creativity plays in Black culture and history we have the absolute pleasure to engage Valerie Wade, Houston based archivist and lead consultant of Lynnfield Historical. In our conversation we explore why African Americans "keep things" such as plastic bags, worn down pencils, and Ivy clippings from our grandma's gardens. We address the crisis of preservation in Black communities and tie how getting our children involved in creating family history projects might just be a solution. Lastly, we round the conversation out with thoughts on how objects communicate through time and what that means for education. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/afrofuturismxdesign/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/afrofuturismxdesign/support

A cultural and economic corridor that's central to Southern California's Black community is getting a new look. Destination Crenshaw is a $100 million revitalization project that will bring public art, pocket parks and small business investment to 1.3 miles of Crenshaw Boulevard in South Los Angeles.Helping bring this project to life? UCLA faculty and alumni.On this episode of "Works In Progress," hear from two UCLA scholars who are advising the project, Darnell Hunt and Marcus Hunter, and two UCLA Department of Art alumnae who are creating public artworks for it, Maren Hassinger and Brenna Youngblood.

Creativity plays such an important role in our community. Partly because art is something that doesn't require permission and empowers us to comment on the conditions we see in our society while imagining something different. Hip Hop is a key component of our culture and long before rappers became the focus, the DJ was the one who moved the crowd. For this episode, I am joined by SCETCH, to discuss the role of the DJ and how creatives can profit from their cultural capital. SCETCH is an acronym that stands for Success - Conquers - Everything - That - Challenges - Him

As scholars, we often like to think we have everything under control. We work hard to meet deadlines, fulfill our responsibilities, and get everything done. So what happens when global and personal events throw all of that out the window? In episode 131 of Imagine Otherwise, host Cathy Hannabach interviews La Marr Bruce, whose La new book How to Go Mad without Losing Your Mind: Madness and Black Radical Creativity, ended up on a much windier publication path than expected due to both the global COVID-19 pandemic and La Marr’s devastating loss of his partner David this past August. As La Marr explains in the conversation, this is a book about destabilization and derailment that also became the vehicle through which he traversed that journey, ultimately renewing his commitment to Black and mad studies, mutual care, and collective liberation. A content note: this episode discusses some difficult topics, including the death of La Marr’s partner David. If this is a topic you need to not hear about right now, for any reason, we recommend exploring some of our other recent episodes.

Jaylene Clark Owens is my guest today and I could not be happier! Jaylene is an award winning actress, gifted play write, and captivating spoken work poet. She has a newly released book called Afro Poetic. " In this collection of spoken word poems, dating from 2005 through 2019, Jaylene poetically responds to current events, injustice, body image, love, and other subjects that have impacted her world".  We speak about her social-justice oriented work such as Renaissance in the Belly of a Killer Whale , So Ha, and Ride or Die Chick.  All of these circulating on topics like gentrification and the black experience - specifically black women. We also touch on her poem My Voice, My Choice and what it means to decolonize that idea of what is deemed "appropriate" for black people (or anyone for that matter) to speak, and that there is true beauty in the accents and dialects that we use.

Candace Tabbs is a dancer and fitness professional whom Marie met studying Dance at Barnard College, Columbia University. Marie later got to know her work more deeply teaching together at Liberated Movement in NYC. Candace is soulful, wise, and has a beautiful way of helping people feel safe and supported in her presence.  Given their similar backgrounds, Marie and Candace explore how the coronavirus pandemic has shifted their relationship to movement both personally and for the people they work with. The strong surge of the Black Lives Movement is examined in-depth, considering the tough questions on how to eradicate the insidious threads of racism through education, kind listening, and celebration of black ingenuity and creativity.

Have you ever wondered what life was like for Black people who voluntarily moved to the United States? Did you once hear the term "Afro Latina" and found yourself perplexed at the idea of Africans in South America? On this week's show, Cesar Francia, an Afro-Venezuelan lawyer takes us on his family's journey out of the favelas to the streets of Miami when he was a young boy of 14. The reality of being a dark-skinned queer Black man set him on a path to exceed his own expectations. Yet, while reflecting on his many accomplishments, he offers wisdom on suppressing ourselves in order to succeed in a white world.   If you're someone who's felt like they have had to "turn down" or "turn off" their Blackness in order to survive and live in a white world or if you've ever felt like you've had to sacrifice your passion for more...pragmatic career pursuits, then you won't want to miss the wisdom, encouragement, and refreshing spirit of Cesar Francia.
