This week we are rebroadcasting part two of our interview with brontë velez (they/them), originally aired in October of 2019. We dive into the capacity for pleasure amidst times of great uncertainty and historical oppression. What does “pleasure in the apocalypse” mean? As brontë defines it, pleasure is what makes us come alive, so how can we create a culture that is deeply attuned to our senses and directs our desire towards Earth and each other? By feeding our senses, how might we confront the isolation and industrialization of our bodies, while acknowledging the limitations of grief in that “suffering is not accountable to the Earth.” brontë's work and rest is guided by the call that “black wellness is the antithesis to state violence” (Mark Anthony Johnson). As a black-latinx transdisciplinary artist, designer, trickster, educator and wakeworker, their eco-social art praxis lives at the intersections of black feminist placemaking, abolitionist theologies, environmental regeneration and death doulaship. they embody this commitment of attending to black health/imagination, commemorative justice (Free Egunfemi) and hospicing the shit that hurts black folks and the land through serving as creative director for Lead to Life design collective and ecological educator for ancestral arts skills and nature-connection school Weaving Earth. they are currently co-conjuring a mockumentary with esperanza spalding in collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony and stewarding land with their partner in unceded Kashia Pomo territory in northern California. Mostly, brontë is up to the sweet tender rhythm of quotidian black queer-lifemaking, ever-committed to humor & liberation, ever-marked by grief at the distance made between us and all of life —" Music by Jennifer Johns and members of the Thrive Choir and Jiordi Rosales on cello.   Visit our website at forthewild.world for the full episode description, references, and action points.

After a year which saw countless examples of 3D printing used to plug supply chain gaps and manufacture emergency components amid disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no question around what the subject of our first Additive Insight Industry Roundtable would be. Kicking off our new podcast series, TCT Head of Content Laura Griffiths is joined by three experts from across the additive manufacturing gamut to discuss the challenges and opportunities for 3D printing in supply chain. Our panelists are Dr Jennifer Johns, Reader in International Business, School of Management, University of Bristol, Ramon Pastor, HP's World Wide General Manager of 3D Printing, and Sam Onukuri, Head of 3D Printing & Customer Solutions at Johnson & Johnson. Throughout you'll hear insight on manufacturing lessons learned from the pandemic, important considerations for integrating 3D printing into your supply chain, and the biggest opportunities for additive manufacturing in increasing supply chain resilience.

Psychoanalyst and paediatrician Donald Winnicott helped shape childcare in Britain through a series of BBC radio broadcasts in the 1940s and 50s. He suggested mothers did best when they followed their instincts, got to know their babies and ignored prescribed rules. He became most famous for developing the idea of what he called ‘the good-enough mother’. He also introduced the term 'transitional object' to describe the favourite teddy that babies cling to, He suggested it represented an important phase of development, helping babies develop a sense of self, separate from their mothers. Claire Bowes has been speaking to retired psychoanalyst Jennifer Johns, who knew Donald Winnicott. PHOTO: A mother with her baby in the 1960s. Credit: BBC.

This week, in Part Two of our episode with brontë velez, we dive into the capacity for pleasure amidst times of great uncertainty and historical oppression. What does “pleasure in the apocalypse” mean? How might this conversation take on different meanings depending on whether we are talking about climate change as an abstraction versus the current lived experience of planetary uncertainty? As brontë defines it, pleasure is what makes us come alive, so how can we create a culture that is deeply attuned to our senses and directs our desire towards Earth and each other? By feeding our senses, how might we confront the isolation and industrialization of our bodies, while acknowledging the limitations of grief in that “suffering is not accountable to the Earth.” brontë velez (they/them) is guided by the call that “black wellness is the antithesis of state violence” (Mark Anthony Johnson). a black-latinx transdisciplinary artist and designer, they are currently moved and paused by the questions, “how can we allow as much room for god to flow through and between us as possible? what affirms the god of and between us? what is in the way? how can we decompose what interrupts our proximity to divinity? what ways can black feminist placemaking rooted in commemorative justice promote the memory of god, which is to say, love and freedom between us?” they relate to god as the moments of divine spacetime that remind us we are not separate, the moments that re-belong us to the earth. they encounter these questions in public theology, black prophetic tradition & environmental justice through their eco-social art praxis, serving as creative director for Lead to Life design collaborative, media director for Oakland-rooted farm and nursery Planting Justice, and quotidian black queer life ever-committed to humor & liberation, ever-marked by grief at the distance made between us and all of life. Part Two of brontë and Ayana’s ripe conversation explores topics including appropriating propaganda and memetics, reorienting ourselves away from the spectacle of terror, tending to erotic energy and sensual spaces, and the nuances around beauty and aesthetics in dominant culture. In closing, we are asked to assess our capacity and privilege and then grow ourselves to create pleasurable pathways, ensure accessibility to embodiment, and foster environments where people are in their senses. ♫ Music by Jennifer Johns and members of the Thrive Choir and Jiordi Rosales on cello, recorded at the 2019 Lead to Life Oakland ceremony, a ceremony that melted weapons into the constellations above Oscar Grant the evening he was murdered. The event closed the annual Reclaim King’s Radical Legacy March, hosted by the Anti Police-Terror Project. Additional ♫ Music by Jeremy Harris

I'm serving up the final installment of this edition and need to take a much-needed break.  However, since Rick is out of town for the next week or so, why bother?  So, I've designated this next week as DIVA week.  I've already done some preliminary mixing and as difficult as some of this old stuff is, I think it'll pretty much rock.  I just need to go back and do a bunch of prep work on the mixes to get them into high-quality shape for your listening pleasure.  That part is very time consuming but the added value to the sound is 200% worth the effort.  I'm not giving out any names or dates; let's just say they'll show up when they show up. Right now, I've got a bunch of hard-hitting funk and soul for you guys.  I'm not going to spend a lot of space this go around, so I'll just throw out some of the hard hitters here:  Danny Howells and Dick Trevor with Erire "Dusk Til Dawn", Inaya Day and Ralf Gum "Reap", The Collective vs. Peyton "Promised Land", Sweet Mercy and Veba "Take Your Time (Do It Right)", Kaskade "It's You, It's Me", Ollie Brooke with Nica Brooke "Fireflies" and The Muthafunkaz with Sheila Ford and Biblical Jones "Galaxy" are all personal favorites.  Frankly, there's not a bad tune in the bunch and everything flows as smoothly as a glass of iced tea on a hot summer day. I hope everyone enjoys their holiday weekend.  I'll back very soon with the first of the next DIVA installment.  Take care, have fun, stay cool and as always.enjoy!

We will feature artist John Barnes, Jr., one of the artists included in Prospect 1 New Orleans, the US Biennial closing Sunday, January 18, 2009. Barnes new body of work, shown for the first time in this exhibit, is he says, "a testament to survival and resilience." The work which is mixed media, and includes text, consists of wooden sculptures which looked like masks to me, however, to Barnes they are "canoe-home hybrid structures." These beached canoes stand verically, an unlikely position for a sea worthy structure, but then this adds to the absurdity of the sights one still sees almost four years after the Great Flood," or the day the levees broke. John and I will speak for most of the show. We will close with an update on Oscar Grant III, murdered two weeks ago by a BART policeman, still at large. There is a peace vigil at 4 p.m. January 14, 2009 in front of Oakland City Hall, 1 Frank Ogawa Plaza. People are encouraged to wear white for peace. It is also the color of the ancestors. The Coalition Against Police Execution (CAPE) will hold the Praying for Peace-Working for Justice March & Rally as the Oakland community continues to demand justice in the senseless murder of Oscar Grant III by Bart Police in the early hours of January 1, 2009. An estimated 1,000 people will converge upon Oakland's City Hall to demand that those responsible for the murder of Oscar Grant be brought to justice. High profile names expected to attend include E-40, Beeda Weeda, Jennifer Johns, Kev Choice, Zion I and others. The community is also calling for an immediate end to police brutality and terrorism in communities of color across America. Following the rally, demonstrators will peacefully march from City Hall to District Attorney Tom Orlov's office.
