The role of artists is the role of dreaming. I've worked as a poet, as a multimedia artist, sound artist, storyteller. I think we hold the capacity to shape the narratives that build our present, our future, reshape the narratives that inform our past. I still believe in that role. I do believe that we have a call to work on the episteme, this epistemological call, this call to investigate the ideas, the words and the shapes that build our relationships. I think if we can do that alone, dreaming of a new reality, dreaming of futurities, dreaming of dialogue… I think that's a good path for us artists.Rafael Zen is a queer Latinx video and sound artist and performer, currently living in the land of the Coast Salish peoples, otherwise known as Vancouver. We were both part of an event at Emily Carr University of Art and Design called Listening in Relationthat expanded upon listening practices and ecological art by exploring decolonization through thought and practices of IBPoC artists. I asked Rafael about their work in new media, performance art, and in particular their understanding of decolonization and decolonial resistance. Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIAction pointsEmbrace the role of an artist as a dreamer, shaping and reshaping narratives of the past, present, and future.Investigate the impact of colonial capitalism and its effect on our ability to envision solutions and equitable futures.Utilize sound and immersive installations to raise awareness of presence and challenge dominant structures.Trust your artistic vision and use storytelling to foster dialogue and connection within local communities.Identify your non-negotiables to guide your art and activism toward decolonization and meaningful change.Story PreviewWhat if art could awaken us from our colonial capitalist slumber?

HOSTS: Miranda Reiman and Mark McCully GUESTS: Scott and Andrew Foster At Seldom Rest Farms the business model is different than many: Angus youth are their main target demographic. Selling Angus show heifers across the United States allowed brothers Scott and Bruce Foster to bring the next generation back to the Michigan farm. Today Scott's son, Andrew, and his family are active in the day-to-day management of the nationally renowned operation. Phenotype matters, but having an end product is also important. Hear how they balance it all, the reason they're so invested in the next generation of Angus enthusiasts and why they believe opening their farm gates to beef marketers makes a real difference.  Scott Foster is a Niles, Mich., native and second generation Angus breeder. He and his siblings grew up on a row crop farm with a small herd of Angus show cattle, which first sparked his interest in the ring. Scott earned a degree in animal husbandry from Michigan State University, married his wife Elaine and raised their children, Andrew and Danielle, with a strong involvement in the National Junior Angus Association. Along with his brother, Bruce, Scott grew Seldom Rest Farm into a nationally recognized program, which has received many honors including 2023 Certified Angus Beef Ambassador of the Year and 2022 Master Breeder of the Year Award at the All-American Angus Breeders' Futurity show in Louisville.  Andrew Foster grew up in the National Junior Angus Association, serving as vice chairman of the National Junior Angus Association Board. After earning an animal science degree from Oklahoma State University, he returned to become a partner in Seldom Rest Farms. He was honored as the 2013 Herdsman of the Year and is a well-known cattle judge across the United States. He and his wife, Emily, are raising their three daughters in the lifestyle he grew up in.  SPONSOR: Deer Valley Farms invites you to their Spring Cow Sale on Saturday, May 10th, at 11 a.m. at the farm near Fayetteville, Tenn.  Several of the donor females have been huge contributors to their program — see what they can do for your herd!
