Käthe Kollwitz, sie ist die berühmteste deutsche Künstlerin des 20. Jahrhunderts, bekannt für ihre anspruchsvollen und existenziellen Themen. Ihre einprägsame, eigenständige und empathische Bildsprache berührt uns bis heute. In der aktuellen Ausgabe des STÄDEL MIXTAPE betrachten wir ihr "Brustbild einer Arbeiterfrau mit blauem Tuch". Die Spuren harter Arbeit sind der Frau ins Gesicht eingeschrieben. Ganz nah sind wir als Betrachter an ihr dran, doch sie erwidert unseren Blick nicht. Wir schauen gemeinsam auf dieses prägnante Porträt und steigen ein in die Zeit der Industrialisierung, beschäftigen uns mit den Folgen und der Künstlerin Käthe Kollwitz. Musikalisch begleitet werden wir dabei von Oum Shatt, Einstürzende Neubauten, Blue Scholars und Masha Qrella. Mehr Infos auf mixtape.staedelmuseum.de

Prometheus Brown - "(East | West) feat. Leua" from the 2023 album Taglagas on Beatrock Music LLC Seattle's own Prometheus Brown has long been an important voice in local hip-hop, dating back to his days as Geologic in the duo Blue Scholars. As the son of Filipino immigrants, he uses the stage to uplift and empower the Filipino community with his lyrics. His first ever musical project as a solo artist has been this four-part EP series, named for each of the four seasons, "after the nonliteral corollary translation for the season's word in Tagalog," as he explains. With Tagsibol and Tag-init released in 2019, he's now released Taglagas, or "fall." He adds, the fourth and final Winter EP, Tag-lamig, should be coming out later this year. Prometheus Brown has also recently joined the KEXP team as a DJ, which you can read more about here. Check out today's Song of the Day below, and revisit his 2022 KEXP in-studio session below that.  Read the full story at KEXP.orgSupport the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Khingz - Fort Cash Money from the 2022 album Over The World on OTOW/ freshcutflowers. Khingz has long been an influential force in the Seattle hip hop scene, with the crowning achievement of Best MC of the Year in 2009 according to Seattle Weekly for his groundbreaking record From Slaveships to Spaceships. A powerful collaborator, Khingz has worked with Geologic of Blue Scholars, Macklemore, and KEXP's own Gabriel Teodros in the hip-hop supergroup Good Medicine, with B-Flat and Crispy of Godspeed as the trio Hi-Life Soundsystem, and, once again, with Teodros as well as rapper Nam under the project The Livin Yard. His latest single and our Song of the Day reiterates Khingz' affinity for collaboration. Over a twinkling piano line and vibrant high hats, Khingz waxes poetic about his desire to bring up the people around him and the power and importance of doing so in “Fort Cash Money.” “Please God make me useful for those I love,” Khingz pleads. “I just wanna be the plug /I just wanna bring them power.” The song comes from Khingz' latest full-length and first in 13 years, Over the World, released last month. Khingz will be playing the Clock Out Lounge on July 23rd for the latest installment of The Good Foot alongside notable names such as the aforementioned Geologic and Grynch.

As part of Sound & Vision's miniseries exploring the Filipino influence on Seattle's hip hop scene, today we highlight isangmahal arts kollective. KEXP's Gabriel Teodros speaks with MCs Prometheus Brown (aka Geo of Blue Scholars) and El Dia (co-founder of Youth Speaks Seattle) about how isangmahal was foundational in the work they did and created a much needed all ages space that gave rise to some talented MCs in the city. “It was like a bubble of creative youth expression in the city that centered a lot of marginalized voices,” Geo says.

On December 1st, 2006, Rahwa and Asmeret Habte took over Hidmo on 20th & Jackson. In a very short amount of time, Hidmo became known as a community center cleverly disguised as an Eritrean restaurant in Seattle's Central District, and a mecca for Seattle hip-hop. The space Rahwa and Asmeret helped create along with their family and friends became a safe space for youth in the neighborhood, an organizing hub for a large amount of community organizations in the city, and an all-ages venue for musicians who had very few venues accessible to them. Hidmo brought together community in a way that very few venues in our city ever have, and what happened those 4 years on 20th & Jackson can still be felt throughout our community, and the world today.  Rahwa tragically passed away earlier this year, and in honor of her legacy and the legacy of what she helped build, we brought together a playlist of some of her favorite artists who have graced the hut, along with personal memories shared from the artists themselves, including Blue Scholars, THEEsatisfaction, Khingz, JusMoni, Hollis, Shabazz Palaces, Meklit, Invincible, Dakota Camacho, Beyond Reality, Siren's Echo, One Be Lo and more. 1.

Hosts Dope KNife and Linqua Franqa got bills, y'all. We all do. Medical bills, student loans, car payments, carceral debts-- most of us know the dread of a letter from Navient or a phone call from Sallie Mae.

My guest for episode 10 is Jill Mangaliman, executive director of Got Green. Got Green is a south-Seattle based grassroots organization led by low income people and people of color that “cultivates multi-generational community leaders to be central voices in the Green Movement in order to ensure that the benefits of the green movement and green economy ... reach low income communities and communities of color.” Got Green is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and Jill has been with the organization since the early days. I talked with Jill about the challenges of organizing a community that is rapidly being displaced and about the ways in which coming together can effect change – and not just from a policy perspective. It can awaken us to new ways of interacting and remind us to model the world we are trying to build with the people who are in the struggle with us. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Jill as much as I did.

My guest for episode 9 is Sue Lenander, program director for Plant for the Planet Seattle. She is also, I learned during our interview, an extremely committed and courageous activist. I wanted to interview Sue to find out how she recruits families and spreads her organization’s message -- and to explore the connection between trees and community building. We talked about those things, but Sue also shared a bit of her own story –- how she came to realize that her life choices had contributed to our climate crisis and how she honors her commitment to be part of the solution. She has participated in or is connected to some of the most impactful direct action climate resistance of this decade. Get ready to be inspired by my conversation with Sue Lenander.

My guest for today’s episode is author and consultant, Peter Block. Peter has written a number of books, including Community: The Structure of Belonging, which I read recently and learned a lot from. What I love about Peter’s book is that it doesn’t just focus on our interactions; it tackles the cultural assumptions and practices that have created the fragmentation that make it difficult to build cohesive communities. It challenges common beliefs about what makes a leader and the most effective ways to bring about change. And, it provides important insights and practical steps to help us build the communities we want to live in.

My guest for episode 6 is Tim Lennon, executive director of the brand new nonprofit, Langston Seattle. Langston is housed in the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute, a beautiful facility in the Central District neighborhood. For the past 40 years, Langston Hughes (or LHPAI) has been run by the City of Seattle and has served as a performance and gathering space for black art and artists. After 40 years, the city has decided to stop managing the programming that happens at Langston Hughes. Though the city will continue to manage the facility, it will hand over control of the programming to the community, through the nonprofit, Langston. Tim, who just started in his role as the new director last month, is well suited to lead this effort. He has worked in the art world in a number of capacities, at Elliott Bay Book Company, the Seattle Office of Arts and Culture, and most recently, as the director of the Vera Project, an all ages, youth arts organization. Tim has spent his career bringing people together around art and is deeply invested in the health and future of this city. I really wanted to pick his brain about how we build community through art and what he envisions for the future of Langston.

Nora Laughlin is a single parent who was born and raised in West Seattle and lives there today with her 12-year old daughter. Nora started a project in West Seattle called Sharing the Harvest, which connected gardeners who had excess harvest with food banks in need of fresh produce. I love the concept of Sharing the Harvest for all the obvious reasons. It provided fresh produce to people who wanted and needed it, and it took advantage of local resources to fill local needs. But I also love it because it was simple. It didn’t require a lot of infrastructure or a new organization or fundraising or campaigning or petitioning government officials. All it took was one person with a good idea who was willing to give some of her time to make it happen.

Everything about El Centro, including its name (the center for people of all races) embodies the value of community, but I wanted to talk to Estela about El Centro’s recent success building affordable housing in a city that is rapidly becoming the exclusive domain of the rich.

“There's more that we can do than we think we can.” Malik Watkins, better known by his stage name MaLLy, is an independent hip-hop artist from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Active since 2007, MaLLy has cemented his place in the Twin Cities music scene with a strong discography boasting three critically acclaimed albums—The Passion, The Last Great..., and The Colors of Black—along with several well-received EPs including Free on the 15th and Strange Rhythm. MaLLy has toured nationwide with Atmosphere on their “Welcome to Minnesota” tour in 2012, and with Brother Ali on his “Home Away From Home” tour in 2014. Other notable live performances include shows alongside underground hip-hop luminaries such as Souls of Mischief, Blue Scholars, Watsky, and Evidence, and two appearances—one as a performer (2011) and one as co-host with Brother Ali (2012)—at Soundset, the largest Hip-Hop festival in Minnesota. MaLLy continues to work on new music, as well as participate in community-oriented organizations dedicated to the arts, creativity, and entrepreneurship such as Giant Steps and Kulture Klub Collaborative. On this episode of the podcast, MaLLy shares the story of where his name came from, talks about being comfortable using humor on stage and why many hip hop artists take themselves very seriously. He talks about the early music he was exposed to by his mother, the time he spent learning how to make music before he shared it with anyone and how his relationship to fear has drive his work and life. MaLLy also talks about the stereotypes and perceptions held about hip hop artists and opens up about his personal journey to make music as a way of making positive connection in the world rather than chase after fame or attention. 

We tried something a little different this week, heading over to the ShoWare Center in Kent to do a live show before the Tacoma Stars game. Unfortunately, we were a bit harder to find that normal, but there were still about 20 or so people who made it over. In any case, we were treated to a pretty spectacular match that featured lots of loud music, dancing mascots and scoring.  The Stars won, too, on a Mike Ramos goal with less than 2 seconds remaining on the clock. The show consisted of Stars VP of Business Development John Crouch. He gave us some of the history behind the reborn Stars and some of their plans for the future.
