BrownTown again invites Hannah Linsky (she/her), vintage stylist, seller, educator, and liver and breather of all things fashion to unpack the politics of dress. In part 2, the friends go macro and discuss fashion within current and historical social movements and its impact on policy and popular culture. From Scottish Resistance to the Black Panthers to Iran's Hijab Protest Movement and everything in between, we understand that dress communicates strong cultural messages. Though often created out of specific contexts, these stylings last generations, travel across cultures, and make us investigate our notions of respectability, autonomy, and mobilization. “If fashion resists power, it is also a compelling form of it,” (Tansy Hoskins). Listen to Episode 85, Part 1! GUEST: Hannah Linsky is a vintage stylist, seller, occasional model and avid collector. She lives and breathes fashion and loves playing dress up almost as much as she loves talking fashion. She is a recent graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she earned her Master's in Art Education. Her work Revolutionary Dress (site, Instagram) centers around examining historical movements through the lens of dress."Past social and political movements provide a basis for conversations about race, class, gender, sexuality, ability and culture, while dress acts as a vehicle to move the conversations from past events to the personal, present and future. Learning about the power of dress in historical movements allows for a wide range of new material to supplement common subjects already covered in educational spaces. It opens up space for discussions about social structures, culture and self-reflection."  -RevDress Mentioned in episode:Hoda Katebi's Work -- Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Websiteon WGN-TV,  "You don't sound American"on France's hijab ban and the Iran hijab protests (1, 2)2016: Beyoncé at 2016 Super Bowl and #RememberRekia Action in ChicagoNWA, Los Angeles Raiders, and the Straight Outta LA documentary (1, 2, 3)SoapBox's What's Beef? documentary on neoliberalism, gangsta rap, and NWAMexican RebozoPunk Attitude documentary and Pistol TV Miniseries CREDITS: Intro soundbite from Hoda Katebi on WGN-TV.

Protests have gripped the country over the past four months. It's not the first instance of civil unrest since the Iranian Revolution 44 years ago, but is there something different about how today's women-led movement, whose rallying cry of ‘zan, zendegi, azadi' – ‘woman, life, freedom' – has galvanised activism today?This episode dives into the current situation in Iran. We hear what the protests signify for rights and freedoms, for Iranians and women around the world, and ask how the international community should respond.SpeakersSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODIAzadeh Pourzand, researcher and writerHoda Katebi, community organiser, writer and activistIrene Khan, UN Special Rapporteur for freedom of expression and opinion & ODI TrusteeRelated resources Women's organisations and feminist mobilisation: supporting the foundational drivers of gender equalityMobilising for change: how women's social movements are transforming gender normsFeminist advocacy, family law and violence against women: international perspectivesWriter, entrepreneur, and activist Hoda Katebi on France's Proposed Hijab Ban

In which we (mostly Ilyse) yell about how it is possible to be so very INCORRECT about women choosing to get dressed in the morning. As always, be sure to visit keepingit101.com for full show notes, homework, transcripts, & more.___Happy Gregorian new year, nerds. We recorded this episode before the death of Mahsa Amini in the custody of Iran's so-called modesty police. There are, of course, more resources in the shownotes, but we want to especially encourage you to check out the work of journalist Hoda Katebi, the Collective for Black Iranians, and the five-part series on modern Iranian history Profs. Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi and Golnar Nikpour did for the Dig Podcast.If you are not yourself Iranian, we also encourage you to NOT make this uprising about your shit. Please don't cut your split ends on social media and call it solidarity, especially if you're not calling on your own country to end its targeting and oppression of Muslims. Iranian activists are leading. It is our duty to listen and learn from them, support them in whatever way they are asking us to support them, and otherwise get the fuck out of their way.

In this episode of Berkeley Voices, Berkeley Law student Hoda Katebi discusses how, after she began wearing the hijab as a sixth-grader in Oklahoma, she learned that clothes are inherently political. "It played a huge role in shaping my own personal growth, as well as my relationship to politics," Katebi says.Since protests broke out in Iran nearly three months ago, sparked by the murder of 22-year-old Mahsa Jina Amini by Iran's so-called morality police, Katebi has been an outspoken supporter of the protesters. "The main demand that we're hearing is, 'Jin, Jiyan, Azadî,' or, 'Woman, Life, Freedom,' which is a Kurdish, anti-imperialist, feminist, anti-capitalist chant," she says. "I think that that's what is really hitting at the core and distinguishes these protests from others before — this is one that's calling for nothing short of the end of dictatorship, which means everything from women's rights to education to class, gender, everything."Although a senior official in the Iranian government confirmed on Monday, Dec. 5, that the morality police had been shut down — the first concession by the government since the protests began — the mandatory dress code remains in place. It's unclear how the government plans to enforce the laws moving forward.Listen to the episode and read a transcript on news.berkeley.edu.Follow Berkeley Voices.Music by Blue Dot Sessions.Photo by Aubrey Trinnaman for the New York Times.

BrownTown invites Hannah Linsky (she/her), vintage stylist, seller, educator, and liver and breather of all things fashion to unpack the politics of dress. The friends use their experiences with clothing and fashion growing up to dissect the often overlooked yet important cultural artifact. As an everyday window into individual and collective beliefs and values, the limitless expression of how we adorn our bodies is a site for discussion around gender and patriarchy; sustainability, labor, and capitalism; and much more. The politics of dress communicate praxis of power and hierarchy yet offer an opportunity for resistance and decolonization. Stay tuned for Part 2! GUESTHannah Linsky is a vintage stylist, seller, occasional model and avid collector. She lives and breathes fashion and loves playing dress up almost as much as she loves talking fashion. She is a recent graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she earned her Master's in Art Education. Her work Revolutionary Dress centers around examining historical movements through the lens of dress.Rev Dress (site, Instagram) looks at the ways dress has been used as a strategic tool of resistance and revolution, across countries, cultures, and communities from the past and today. Dress is an important and often overlooked cultural artifact, a window into so many aspects of human life and behavior. Studying what people wore can help us understand their daily experiences, beliefs, values, social structures and so much more. We can use what we've learned about past people and movements to inform our choices today, and better recognize how our dress can be one tool amongst many in our collective, ongoing fight toward liberation. Mentioned in episode:TRAP House ChicagoShein controversy (1, 2, 3)SoapBox and Demand Justice clothing collaborationsHannah's recs on accounts and people to follow:Hoda Katebi -- fashion, politics, abolition, Chicago/East BayAlokvmenon -- Degendering fashion, queering fashionAja Barber --  Intersectional sustainability and politicsDressing Dykes -- Lesbian fashion historyThe Slow Factory -- Intersectional sustainability and politicsThe Zay Initiative -- The Art of Arab DressClothes Horse Podcast -- The podcast that loves clothes but hates capitalism! CREDITS: Intro soundbite from Alokvmenon and outro music Wu Wear: The Garment Renaissance by the RZA ft.

Maria and guest co-host Imara Jones, journalist and award-winning creator of TransLash Media, discuss President Biden's warning of nuclear “Armageddon” from Russia and his move to pardon federal marijuana possession convictions. They also get into the recent court ruling on DACA, the alleged abortion hypocrisy surrounding Republican candidate Herschel Walker, and the women-led protests in Iran following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa “Zhina” Amini. ITT Staff Picks: Noah Berlatsky writes about the significance of President Joe Biden's announcement to roll back federal marijuana laws and how his decision “will concretely benefit large numbers of people, and will make the US a less repressive, less cruel place” in this piece for Public Notice.  “Walker's disturbing history in no way reflects on other Black men. But I can't help sensing some condescension in Republicans' elevation of such a buffoonish candidate. Does Walker embody what they think Black men really are?” writes Jemele Hill in this piece for The Atlantic. Hoda Katebi writes about how the recent protests in Iran “echo the decades of resistance led by women, both veiled and unveiled, against the hijab's co-optation as a tool of repression since its imposition in the 1980s,” in this op-ed for the Los Angeles Times.  Photo credit: AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana

BrownTown chops it up about electoral politics, the remap process post-2020 Census, borders and anti-Zionism, and much more with repeat guest (Ep. 60) Stephanie Skora, movement worker and creator of the popular "Girl, I Guess" Progressive Voter Guide. The gang again takes on the nuances of engaging in electoralism while holding radical politics and the importance international solidarity between colonized peoples. Originally recorded May 16, 2022, before the new Chicago ward map was approved. Spring 2022 marks two years since the most recent Census where the new representational map of our political reality has changed to, so we're told, better reflect our lived populations. It has also been one year after renewed worldwide attention on the Israeli occupation, specifically in the Palestenian neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah. How do we place the remap process within the broader system of American electoralism, for better or worse? More broadly, how do we conceptualize not only the invisible lines of representational democracy based on population in America but also the more militarily enforced borders that manufacture our economic and political reality to justify the state's existence, globally? This is their take. GUESTStephanie Skora is a hard femme Lesbian, trans woman, and anti-Zionist working class Ashkenazi Jew whose activist work centers around Palestinian solidarity organizing, queering Jewish spaces, and fighting for justice and liberation for all trans people. She is the COO of Brave Space Alliance, the South Side LGBTQ Center, the Board President of the Midwest Institute for Sexuality and Gender Diversity, a longtime member of Jewish Voice for Peace, and the author and editor of the "Girl, I Guess" Progressive Voter Guide.

The tide of fast fashion pulls in a way that can feel difficult to escape, even as supply chain problems spread around the globe. Love it or hate it, many feel they can't live without quick and cheap clothes from brands like H&M or Zara. We're revisiting the work of activist Hoda Katebi and a collective of garment workers in the US city of Chicago who have a radical vision for a world without fast fashion, and they're taking it on with their own worker-owned factory: Blue Tin Productions.

In 2019, UpEffect and the Islamic Finance and Ethics Society had the honour of hosting Hoda Katebi at Kings College London. The goal of this event was ambitious: let's get real and address the state of the fashion industry, what financial equity is and why capitalism is broken. There is much to learn from Hoda but this event was a brief glimpse into the vast knowledge and experience she brings to the industry (much of it being exemplified through her recent initiative, an apparel manufacturing workers co-operative run by working class women of colour).We're delighted to now bring this conversation to our Re-envision Business listeners as we know so many of you will enjoy it. It covers a spectrum of topics, including:the hold capitalism has on the fashion industrythe reality of how fast fashion thrives off violence inflicted on garment workers whether the industry can be reformedand so much more!A special thank you to Georgina Wilson-Powell (Editor of pebble magazine) for facilitating a discussion that many described as a mind-blowing interview that changed their views on fast fashion forever. Hoda Katebi is an Iranian-American writer, abolitionist organizer, and creative educator. Her work has been hailed from the BBC to the New York Times to the pages of VOGUE and featured and cited in books, journals, and museums around the world. Hoda is the host of #BecauseWeveRead, a radical digital book club and discussion series mobilizing local communities with 25+ chapters globally; founding member of Blue Tin Production, an apparel manufacturing workers co-operative run by working class women of color setting new international standards in labor and sustainability within fashion supply chains among many other hats.We're also immensely grateful to Maaria Lohiya for capturing the event, event partner Emerald Network and our wonderful sponsors that made this event a success.Follow UpEffect on Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn for updates on future episodesThis show was kindly produced by APC See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

For decades, research has shown that more immigration doesn’t mean more crime. But the myth of “the dangerous immigrant” remains a powerful force in American politics and rhetoric. In Episode 3, we look at how the stereotype came to be and the ties between immigration detention and mass incarceration. Join host Samantha Laine Perfas and Monitor reporter Henry Gass with guests: criminologist Charis Kubrin, activist Hoda Katebi, immigration policy expert Muzaffar Chishti, sociologist Jonathan Metzl, and immigration attorney Laura Peña.

Is prison abolition an Islamic project? How does anti-Shi'ism manifest itself through structures and global power politics? How can we as Muslims stand up for justice? In light of the recent political climate, we sat down with community organiser Hoda Katebi for an unmissable conversation.

As COVID-19 continues to endanger the health of people throughout the world, it also magnifies a long-existent global humanitarian crisis: The use of sanctions by the United States and other powers as a weapon of war. In Iran, one of the countries most devastated by the contagion, sanctions have strangulated the supply of medical equipment crucial to testing the population and treating those who are infected, inspiring some members of the political establishment to call for sanctions to be eased. While these pleas are necessary, they’re woefully inadequate and long overdue. Sanctions aren’t just a problem when there’s a pandemic. Iran had been subjected to U.S. and UN-imposed sanctions long before the appearance of the contagion—as had Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, Iraq, and far too many other countries deemed Official Enemies of the United States and its allies, resulting in economic destabilization, vulnerability to U.S. militarism, starvation, illness, and mass deaths.    Amid these life-or-death stakes, media and think tanks’ responses to sanctions range from mere handwringing to outright bloodlust. Rather than decisively condemning sanctions as ruthless acts of economic warfare, American media largely perpetuates the narrative that sanctions are a necessity, and often a force for good, in the effort to punish and “change the behavior” of some perceived “rogue” government. Meanwhile, little criticism is offered outside of tepid suggestions that those sanctions should be tweaked.    On today’s show, we’ll examine how the U.S. levies sanctions to undermine countries opposed to U.S. hegemony, how sanctions are laundered as benign in the media, and how the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the preexisting, decades-long barbarism of U.S. foreign policy.    We are joined by guests Keyvan Shafiei and Hoda Katebi.

Hoda Katebi is the founding member of Blue Tin Production, a Chicago-based clothing manufacturing co-op run by refugee and immigrant women. Reset spotlights Katebi for the latest in our Chicago Creatives series.

GUESTSCourtney Phillips is the Co-founder of Gumbo Media and leader of GumboFit. She is a curator, project manager, and entrepreneur with a passion for social equity and empathy.Matthew Manning is the Co-Founder of Gumbo Media. He is a storyteller, brand consultant, and social entrepreneur with a creative propensity and passion for inclusion and equity. He earned his BA in Art and Architectural History and his MA in Writing and Publishing from DePaul University. He is energized by collaboration with the world’s most audacious ideators, innovators, and entrepreneurs to tackle pressing global issues with creativity, intention, and impact.Courtney and Matthew currently live together in Hyde Park, Chicago. Gumbo Media curates content, community, and services that expand the narrative of Black life.OVERVIEWBrownTown and the Gumbo Media founders investigate the importance, struggles, successes, and nuances of making culturally-specific and -relevant media while centering their experiences as Black and Brown creators and full human beings. Courtney and Matthew begin by explaining how they came to create Gumbo: An idea they had thought about and discussed for some time hit a crescendo in July 2016, summer of police killings of Alton Sterling and Philandro Castile as well as the Republican National Convention honoring then-nominee Donald Trump.The group discusses making space for and within their communities and what it means for your identity to inform the work and explore within it. Matthew affirms that "Blackness is infinite" before the group dissects depictions of what Blackness is presented and interpreted as by all peoples. How do Black people and intentionally Black entities unequivocally make space to be unapologetically Black while navigating traditionally white spaces and/or inequitable structures? Here the gang speaks on valuing ourselves by our own standards, the white gaze, the importance of the global diaspora, and, as Courtney states, "prioritizing Black authenticity above everything else." With that, they call on allies (of all identities and issues) to do the work versus strictly relying on the oppressed for education. Other topics include the gentrification of silk scares, macro-analysis of a scene from Moonlight, and comrade Hoda Katebi's brilliant response to deeply problematic questioning on WGN-TV.At the end of the day, all media is cultural media no matter how much it's coded otherwise. As we constantly move within an ever-expanding digital ecosystem while simultaneously coming into new consciousness, we must curate media as the medium of which our audiences, our communities, and most of all, ourselves, learn, grow, and reflect.--

Citations Needed is off this week, but we do have a fascinating interview with Hoda Katebi on her now-infamous WGN television segment. In this News Brief, we explore what it means to "sound American," the politics of women's clothing, and why everyone with even a single drop of Iranian blood is expected to be an expert on nuclear energy and international affairs. 

We’re back for season 4! First amendment queen Nabiha Syed and gloom and doom DJ Sara Yasin join us for a good ol' round of Halal or Not. Later, we talk about how the FBI meme is appropriating Muslim culture, Hoda Katebi’s legendary local news clapback and the way white media folks try to 'support immigrant' voices, and inevitably otherize them.

In episode 70, Kestrel welcomes Linn Frisinger, cofounder of Swedish Stockings to the show. Swedish Stockings produces beautiful pantyhose from 90-98% recycled nylon yarn.  Each year, two billion pairs of tights are produced, worn a few times, and then discarded. After being inspired by the documentary The Lightbulb Conspiracy, Linn and her cofounder Nadja Forsberg set out to find a better solution for the hosiery industry. In this chat, Kestrel asks Linn about the approach Swedish Stockings has to sustainability and zero waste in their supply chain, as well as their Recycling Club, which addresses the end of life of pantyhose. Linn also acknowledges the impact that nylon has on our oceans and microplastics issue; she shares how Swedish Stockings is developing a new yarn composed of upcycled plastic from the ocean. When it comes to being able to recycle elastane, Linn believes a solution is close, and hopes we will see one in the near future. Details on material composition:  Nylon: a man-made polyamide, derived from petrochemicals (a thermoplastic); nylon is not biodegradable and contributes to microplastic pollution in the ocean. Elastane: a synthetic materials, scientifically described as a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomeric fiber; elastane cannot be easily separated from other materials, due to the way it shifts when heated. Currently, a solution has not been found to recycle fabrics with mixed compositions including spandex. Resources Linn mentioned: The Lightbulb Conspiracy: documentary on planned obsolescence  & Other Stories: offers a beauty and textiles recycling program, a brand under the H&M Group FAIR TRADE FASHION SHOW TICKETS  A fashion show for activists!

Written in 1978 by Palestinian intellectual Edward Said, Orientalism is a seminal text critiquing the cultural representations that are the bases of Orientalism - how the Western world perceives the Orient. Monica and Page talked with Muslim-Iranian writer, community organizer, and creative educator Hoda Katebi to understand how this book is relevant in our current political moment, and to help us breakdown core concepts and key vocab that Said delves into throughout the book.
