We continue our season focusing on belonging by talking about places and spaces. What kinds of stories do you tell about the places of your past that made you who you are? How do you tell that story when that place has been destroyed by the effects of climate change?  dream hampton is an independent filmmaker who recently released a nine-minute short film called Freshwater. Prior to this project, hampton had worked on three long-form projects, including the widely recognized Surviving R. Kelly docuseries. Dealing with studios and facing creative limitations took a toll on dream, prompting a search for a creative project that could heal. In collaboration with her friend Invincible, dream embarked on a film project exploring flooded basements as a metaphor for memory, the effects of climate change, and the changing demographics of her hometown, Detroit. Freshwater was shot over all four seasons with a small crew of three or four people.  My conversation with dream includes thoughts around migration and climate refugees. Why aren't we doing a better job of responding to those who have left homes that have been made uninhabitable due to climate catastrophe? We also talk about ways that urban planning and surveillance have contributed to why our places are so poorly equipped to withstand the many challenges we're facing, whether it's fire or too much water. Through her story of loss, dream invites us all to reflect with her on how we might respond to this moment when, as she so aptly puts it, nature is talking to us. As storytellers, are we listening? How will we shape our stories to meet this moment?Guest info and other notables from the episode:dream hampton's WebsiteWatch the film FreshwaterInvincibleSterling TolesBelle Isle Here's how you can donate to Maui fire victimsBuy me a coffee!Leave me a voicemail to share on the show!Follow Me:●      My Instagram ●      My LinkedIn●      Art Heals All Wounds Website●      Art Heals All Wounds Instagram●      Art Heals All Wounds Facebook●      Art Heals All Wounds Newsletter

pt.2 继续上一期讨论，我和老林会继续接下来的 3 个小章节：03. Sexuality性感和身体作为武器Lil' Kim “Hardcore”（1996）和 Foxy Brown “Ill Nana”（1996）的推出在当时的革命意义，她们不再像上一代女 rapper 用严肃正经的批评角度表达女性主张，而是将女性的性吸引力，身体和感情关系中试图掌握主动权作为女性意识的核心；（*更正： “Ill Nana”是 Foxy Brown 的首张专辑，是我在节目里说错了）性解放这个信息可以是一种女力的表达，但是我们都不认为它可以作为一种指导性的理念真正为女性赋权，曾经的我认为 Hip-Hop 音乐中女性艺术家展示性感，肆无忌惮谈论性是掌握女性权利的体现，可现在我却觉得，在大多数情况下，这仍然是在父权结构中一种过于天真的幻想；未成年的 Foxy Brown 在音乐中的性积极信息，最终还是成为了男性霸权文化中被利用的工具，我们都赞同她的音乐性是完整的，有好制作支撑的，但在当下反思这种信息的结果，女性还是必须保持警惕，不要落入另一种父权思维陷阱；90s 的女 rapper 对“bitch”这个词含义的扩充，对我来说是一个积极的角度，“bitch”不再是一个贬低的词语，在 Hip-Hop 文化中它被赋予了另一种力量；2010s 的 Nicki Minaj 也是一个特例，她的性张力表达并不会给人淫秽的服务男性的感觉，在她出现之后我们对于女 rapper 的形象不再局限于严肃和性感这两种二元化标准讨论；04 Oppression女性遇到的重重阻碍黑人女性面临的压迫既有种族歧视，还有种族内部的降级，但这并不是 Hip-Hop 文化催生的，而是一个历史问题，我们都认为 Hip-Hop 是将原本存在的社会冲突极端化的体现，并非是这个文化导致了厌女；我们绝不是否认女性被压迫这个事实，因为在 Hip-Hop 文化中，女性被压迫体现在很多方面，这都是显而易见的，包括肤色歧视，文化和美学被挪用霸占得不到认可，还有在整个音乐文化行业中做出贡献的女性一直都是被忽视的，女 rapper 也无法得到与男性同等的资源，在经济上被剥削的程度比男性艺人更甚；女 rapper 面临的默认双重标准与统一标准的矛盾困境，双重标准在于：基于性别的男女区别对待，统一标准在于：女性在一个男性建立规则和男本位的游戏中与男性竞争，只能有单一的评价角度；女性之间的竞争总是会被男性和媒体渲染成争皇位，大环境对女 rapper 的评价没多大进步；70s-90s 期间有太多被遗忘的优秀女 rapper，她们虽然发表作品不多，但从未得到同时代跟男性一样的承认，我们提到的有 Conscious Daughter, Lady of Rage, Passion ”Baller's Lady”(1996), Nonchalant, Boss, BWP (Bytches With Problems) ,Jean Grae, T-Love, Infamous Syndicate, Ms. Melodies “Diva”(1989), Sparky D, Heather B, Charlie Baltimore；我们俩都特别喜欢 Charlie Baltimore, 1999 年的“Cold As Ice” 强烈推荐，老林认为 Charlie 的特色具有当时时代中的颠覆意义，我最爱的“Stand Up”里，我认为她与 Ghostface Killah 的表现是 Hip-Hop 音乐中男女对抗最智慧的体现；05 Hip-Hop 中女性主义视角究竟是什么，我们应该如何评价女性 rapper 和她们的作品我们对于女性 rapper 的评价标准其实仍然局限，这当然由于 Hip-Hop 本来就建立在男性本位框架中，但在当下更进步的主流价值观中，破除另外一种“是否给女性赋权”的捆绑也同样重要；属于女性视角的珍贵之处就在于女 rapper 的关怀，深情，智慧，当然这也不是唯一的标准，我们如果把目光聚焦于音乐的成果上看反而能得到更多的启发；老林提出的一个感受音乐的见解：你无法通过分析动机去评价一个艺术家，你只能通过动机去理解她想表达的艺术；女性意识应该主动去扩展 Hip-Hop 文化的含义和审美价值，我们并不赞同因为 Hip-Hop 原本是个男本位游戏就去反对它；重回嘻哈的黄金年代（80s 中- 90s 初），或者从英国的女性艺术家身上，能打破很多固有的审美思维；当下女性 rapper 单一形象给我带来的迷惑，机会的确更多了，但这可能更像是整个音乐行业的问题；Hip-Hop 每一个阶段的女性都有不同特色，她们曾经只一种例外，也是一个姐妹团，她们也是全男团队中的 token，也是被物化的性感尤物，她们可以充满智慧柔情，也同时勇敢有力，女 rapper 的形象其实一直都很丰富有趣，被限制的是我们的标准和固化的思维。本期Playlist：Foxy Brown - “(Holy Matrimony) Letter To The Firm”Passion - “Where I'm From”Charlie Baltimore - “Stand Up” ft.

When ‘Surviving R. Kelly' showrunner dream hampton was conducting interviews with women who had been in the thrall of the infamous singer-songwriter, she had to choose her words. She tells us about having difficult conversations with survivors while lawyers listened to every question and about other challenges of making the docuseries, plus the recognition and blowback she's experienced since.

For decades, it’s been an open secret that R. Kelly has allegedly kept young women trapped in abusive relationships through psychological manipulation, fear, and intimidation. His domestic situation has been compared to a sex cult. He was acquitted of child-pornography charges even though a video that appears to show him with a fourteen-year-old girl was circulated around the country. It was described only as the “R. Kelly sex tape.” Why has it taken so long for the reckonings of the #MeToo movement to catch up to him? Lifetime just aired “Surviving R. Kelly,” a six-part documentary by the producer dream hampton that airs the full breadth of the accusations against Kelly. (He continues to deny all charges of illegal behavior.) One young woman featured in the documentary left a relationship with Kelly, whom she met when she was a teen-age supporter outside the Chicago courtroom where he was being tried. “He was cruising eleventh graders on that trial,” hampton tells the New Yorker staff writer Jelani Cobb. “I mean, the hubris!” Cobb and hampton discuss the complicated dynamics of accusing R. Kelly. “It’s a deep shame black women have, handing over black men to this system we know to be unjust and that targets them,” she says. “At the same time, black women are black people, and we too are targeted . . . . Most sexual-violence survivors don’t find justice in this system, regardless of race.”   Update: After our program went to air, RCA Records dropped R. Kelly from its roster.

This mix is for Black women who love Björk Guðmundsdóttir. For some of us Björk is one of the guiding forces in the most secret parts of our emotional lives. And there is something to be said about the fact that my deepest, most intimate romantic relationships have been with Black women who speak Björk. She is one of the most brilliant artists of our time, with relevance far beyond the boringly sensational Academy Award swan dress debacle, which on the low, I believe was a challenge to American popular cultural values. Like on some fashion resistance shit. “I thought I could organize freedom, how Scandinavian of me?” During my New York years, I had the opportunity to witness Björk live at the Apollo with three other Black women. Björk at The Apollo? What a combination and what an honorable way to honor the Black folks that get down with her like that. Aside from the sheer weight of the decision to perform in Harlem, we, like thousands of her students, made sure to have loot in hand ready to buy tickets the moment they went on sale. We managed to get tickets, but please understand, in less than five minutes the show was sold out. And to be honest, it wasn’t Harlem or Brooklyn who showed up to see her, which I understand; Björk is ‘strange fiction.’ It was the usual crew at the Apollo concert; former club kids, angsty white women and entitled hipsters. And of course some of us were in the house. My crew and I represented for all the Black women inspired by her audaciousness, by her work ethic, and by her willingness to make whatever screw face necessary to offer ‘love scholarship’ through song. We cheered from the balcony squinting to experience what looked like an Icelandic ball of glitter performing unapologetically to self-composed electro folk music. I will never forget her relationship with the microphone, dancing around it, stepping away from it, looking into it and making it sing her songs. She’s a beast of a live performer. After the concert I kept thinking about how to build on the energy felt from the experience. So I reached out to Greg Tate, one of the only Black men in my life who loves Bjork as much as I do, to discuss the possibility of the Black Rock Coalition’s involvement in a tribute to Björk, at the Apollo Theater no less. The vision was to have my favorite artists, including Tamar Kali, Joi and Taylor McFerrin, to not so much perform, but interpret her music. I believe that only an original interpretation is possible. A night of Björk covers would never do. Later I decided to hold off on the tribute in fear of not having the resources to do the event justice. One cannot half step when the name Björk is attached to a project and slowly but surely my budget fronted on my vision. While a major tribute event was not possible, I kept thinking of ways to express the impact this creature of an artist has had on my artistic and personal development. I’ve turned to Björk’s music so many times for heart education and the inevitable ‘feeling of feelings’ that happen when you find yourself brave enough to face the dark beauty of a song like ‘Unravel’ from the Homogenic album. For years I’ve waited for whatever it is I am supposed to do with this special place that I hold for her work in my heart. It turned out to be this mix, which was partially inspired by the release of her latest and ninth studio album, Vulnicura. My Black girl Bjork tribe was surprised, maybe even betrayed to learn that I don’t love it. It’s brilliant by default, but part of why I love her so much is because she speaks to lovers wherever they are on their journey, excavating lessons buried deep in the nuanced exchanges between intimate partners in any given space and time. A breakup album felt too obvious for me. Before listening to Vulnicura I had to ask myself if I even had the emotional capacity to hold Björk’s heartbreak this winter? Björk’s triple Scorpio heartbreak? Triple Scorpio? What the hell does it mean to be in partnership with a Björk? She’s always been so perfectly naked or ‘Violently Happy?’ But I listened, hoping that I hadn’t become one of those fans who run away when artists are inspired to drive their work in a different direction? I mean I get it. Sometimes you need something epic, a release, to get the hurt out. Marvin did it brilliantly with “Here My Dear,” Nas even did it with his Post Kelis “Life Is Good” album, and I’m sure there are hundreds of other artists who produced entire projects around mourning, or celebrating the ending of a relationship. And there are jewels all up in and through Vulnicura, don’t get it twisted, I know who she is. But did I miss her impersonal cryptic lyrical finesse?” Yes. And do I understand how honest, brave, vulnerable and musically sound it is? Absolutely. So far there is only one song that I can return to, “Atom Dance” and it too is represented on this mix. I’ll be revisiting ‘Vulnicura’ at a later time, certainly a different season. Maybe my European winter was not the right time? But I trust her and my resistance could have everything to do with where I was when it was released, so leave space for me to retract my underwhelm please? I do, however, credit Vulnicura for sending me back to her catalog with the intention to create a Björk syllabus of sorts. I listened to all of her albums and carefully selected songs that have gotten me through and past IT, that have taken me over and under IT. And because she is such an incredible writer, thinker, feeler, this mix will function like a literature review of her discography, yes, music as text. Get into it. Sending special love to Porter Ferbee, a bonafied scholar who can school you on the time and place of almost every song created under the hand of Björk and to Zetoille, for introducing my 1998 self to Bjork on one late night in San Francisco. And to Dream Hampton who while listening to ‘Vespertine’ is quick to point out the genius of her lyricism, calling attention to the lines that turn your ass in circles. I hope this special compilation honors us all. Track list: Song (Album) Who Is It (Medúlla) One Day (Debut) Cvalda (Selmasongs) Human Behaviour (Debut) Immature (Homogenic) I Go Humble (Family Tree) The Modern Things (Post) 5 Years (Homogenic) Wanderlust (Volta) Undo (Vespertine) Hidden Place (Vespertine) Hunter (Homogenic) Atom Dance (Vulnicura) Crying (Debut) Triumph Of A Heart (Medúlla)

To understand the impact of Greg Tate, one need only consult the words of fellow critic Michael Gonzales, who on the occasion of Tate's 50th birthday wrote: "For better or worse, if it were not for Greg Tate, there would be no Bonz Malone, Harry Allen, Joan Morgan, Kris Ex, Scott Poulson Bryant, Toure, Danyel Smith, Michael Eric Dyson, Karen R. Goode, Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, Smokey Fontaine, Jon Caramanica, Jeff Chang, Amy Linden, Tom Terrell, Mark Anthony Neal, Tricia Rose, Sasha Jenkins, DJ Spooky (aka Paul Miller), Dream Hampton, Miles Marshall Lewis, Aliya King, SekouWrites, Kenji Jasper, Oliver Wang, Cheo Hodari Coker, Keith Murphy or myself." Gonzales offers high praise for one of the singular critical voices of the last 30 years. The author of several books including the classic Flyboy in the Buttermilk: Essays on Contemporary America (1993) and the edited volume Everything But the Burden: What White People Are Taking From Black Culture (2003), Greg Tate joins Left of Black host Mark Anthony Neal (via Skype) in a rousing discussion of Black Science Fiction, being a "gourmand" of Black Culture and the significance of the late musical conductor Butch Morris. Tate is the longtime conductor of Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber, a former Village Voice Staff Writer and currently Visiting Professor of Africana Studies at Brown University. Duke University Press will publish Flyboy 2: The Greg Tate Reader next year.
