Podcast appearances and mentions of marlon riggs

Filmmaker-writer-activist Marlon Riggs challenged popular — even progressive — culture when his video documentary depicting Black gay men with their “Tongues Untied” was banned by television stations across the U.S. (interviewed by Joey Flyer and Mike Alcolay). Lakhiyia means “home,” and Lakhiyia's work in revolutionary creativity offers an opportunity for listeners to bring out their own “sermons you wish you'd heard,” like “Duckwalk to Freedom” — and you can participate @lakhiyia on Instagram, HOMEplxce.com and thiswayout.org! (interviewed by Lucia Chappelle). And in NewsWrap: Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan declares 2025 “The Year of the Family” that doesn't include queers, more U.S.-based trans-national companies are obeying in advance to restrict or totally abandon workplace diversity programs, the Boards of Apple and Costco are bucking the anti-DEI trend, U.S. federal protections from bias in education based on sexual orientation or gender identity are struck down by a federal court in Kentucky, a bill that denies federal funding to schools that allow transgender students to compete in girls' and women's sports was passed by the U.S. House, and more international LGBTQ+ news reported this week by Sarah Montague and Marcos Najera (produced by Brian DeShazor).

Truly an artist who needs no introduction to the No Tags universe, Midland is also one of the nicest people we know in this bottomless viper pit called dance music.Harry Agius has been a constant presence on the dancefloor since we were first finding our feet as music writers, and we've followed him every step of the way – from his early run of steppy house records on Aus Music and Phonica, to ‘Final Credits' mania in 2016, and his current incarnation as something of a grande dame of gay club culture.That role is one he's grown into slowly but surely, as he explains to us in this episode, and it blossoms into something very special on his debut album Fragments Of Us. It's far from your typical wham-bam, nine-tracks-and-an-ambient-interlude dance music long-player. Constructed around gay voices past and present – including ‘80s artist and Aids activist David Wojnarowicz, mould-breaking Black filmmaker Marlon Riggs, and Luke Howard of London institution Horse Meat Disco – it's a genuinely personal record that's also a kind of time capsule for future generations.We talked to Harry about growing into his identity as a gay DJ, the many, many reasons to turn down a gig, and whether Arthur Russell would have liked dubstep. Plus, he loves his films! We get an excellent recommendation and confirmation, if it were needed, that he's #PartyGirlHive.As ever, if you enjoyed this episode of No Tags, please do rate, review and subscribe on your go-to podcast app, as it does really help.

In There's a Disco Ball Between Us: A Theory of Black Gay Life (Duke UP, 2022), Jafari S. Allen offers a sweeping and lively ethnographic and intellectual history of what he calls “Black gay habits of mind.” In conversational and lyrical language, Allen locates this sensibility as it emerged from radical Black lesbian activism and writing during the long 1980s. He traverses multiple temporalities and locations, drawing on research and fieldwork conducted across the globe, from Nairobi, London, and Paris to Toronto, Miami, and Trinidad and Tobago. In these locations and archives, Allen traces the genealogies of Black gay politics and cultures in the visual art, poetry, film, Black feminist theory, historiography, and activism of thinkers and artists such as Audre Lorde, Marsha P. Johnson, Essex Hemphill, Colin Robinson, Marlon Riggs, Pat Parker, and Joseph Beam. Throughout, Allen renarrates Black queer history while cultivating a Black gay method of thinking and writing. In so doing, he speaks to the urgent contemporary struggles for social justice while calling on Black studies to pursue scholarship, art, and policy derived from the lived experience and fantasies of Black people throughout the world. Brittney Edmonds is an Assistant Professor of Afro-American Studies at UW-Madison. I specialize in 20th and 21st century African American Literature and Culture with a special interest in Black Humor Studies. Read more about my work at brittneymichelleedmonds.com.

Moving from the aftermath of Reconstruction through the AIDS crisis, a new cultural history of the United States shows how artists, intellectuals, and activists turned political disappointment--the unfulfilled desire for change--into a basis for solidarity. Sara Marcus argues that the defining texts in twentieth-century American cultural history are records of political disappointment. Through insightful and often surprising readings of literature and sound, Marcus offers a new cultural history of the last century, in which creative minds observed the passing of moments of possibility, took stock of the losses sustained, and fostered intellectual revolutions and unexpected solidarities. Political Disappointment: A Cultural History from Reconstruction to the AIDS Crisis (Harvard UP, 2023) shows how, by confronting disappointment directly, writers and artists helped to produce new political meanings and possibilities. Marcus first analyzes works by W. E. B. Du Bois, Charles Chesnutt, Pauline Hopkins, and the Fisk Jubilee Singers that expressed the anguish of the early Jim Crow era, during which white supremacy thwarted the rebuilding of the country as a multiracial democracy. In the ensuing decades, the Popular Front work songs and stories of Lead Belly and Tillie Olsen, the soundscapes of the civil rights and Black Power movements, the feminist poetry of Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich, and the queer art of Marlon Riggs and David Wojnarowicz continued building the century-long archive of disappointment. Marcus shows how defeat time and again gave rise to novel modes of protest and new forms of collective practice, keeping alive the dream of a better world. Disappointment has proved to be a durable, perhaps even inevitable, feature of the democratic project, yet so too has the resistance it precipitates. Marcus's unique history of the twentieth century reclaims the unrealized desire for liberation as a productive force in American literature and life. Learn more about your ad choices.

Marlon Riggs was a groundbreaking filmmaker and activist who was born on February 3, 1957, in Fort Worth, Texas. As the child of civilian military employees, Riggs spent much of his childhood moving between Texas, Georgia, and West Germany. His experience of ostracism and name-calling as a biracial student at Hephzibah Junior High School in Georgia would have a profound impact on his life and work.Despite these challenges, Riggs excelled academically and athletically, becoming student body president at Ansbach American High School in Germany and graduating with honors in history from Harvard University in 1978. While at Harvard, Riggs realized that he was gay and sought to study the history and representation of homosexuality in American culture, petitioning the History Department for an independent study on the subject.Riggs began his career in film by working for a local television station in Texas before moving to Oakland, California, where he lived with his partner, Jack Vincent, for 15 years. It was in Oakland that Riggs developed his unique voice as a filmmaker, exploring issues of race, sexuality, and identity in groundbreaking documentaries such as "Ethnic Notions" (1986), "Tongues Untied" (1989), and "Black Is...Black Ain't" (1995).Riggs's work challenged traditional notions of documentary filmmaking, blending elements of poetry, music, and performance to create a powerful and emotionally resonant style. He was a vocal advocate for the representation and empowerment of marginalized communities, particularly Black gay men, and his films were instrumental in sparking conversations about race, sexuality, and representation in American culture.Tragically, Riggs died in 1994 at the age of 37 due to complications from AIDS. However, his legacy continues to inspire new generations of filmmakers and activists, and his work remains a vital part of the ongoing struggle for social justice and equality in the United States.Visual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

Today, I'm joined by Peabody Award-winning documentary filmmaker Vivian Kleiman. In her latest film, No Straight Lines: The Rise of Queer Comics, Vivian offers an intimate look at five pioneers of queer comics: Alison Bechdel, Rupert Kinnard, Howard Cruse, Jen Camper, and Mary Wings. The film also introduces a new generation of LGBTQ+ artists creating comics.  In our conversation, Vivian and I discuss how this project came about and her thought process behind certain cinematic touches. Vivian hits on some of the storytelling conflicts she went through while creating the film, including how to bring the viewers into the hearts and minds of the featured artists.  We also talk about what it means for a film like this to be picked up by PBS, given the current political climate.  Although she originally imagined No Straight Lines on a streaming platform like Netflix or HBO, it ultimately landed with Independent Lens, the independent documentary film branch of PBS. Vivian shares her approach to conforming with the FCC guidelines in a way that honors the content, but makes it available to a wide audience. You can watch No Straight Lines for free on PBS until April 23, 2023. If you're catching this episode after that date, it's still available for a small fee as a PBS member. Subscribe, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Castbox, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:●      Why Vivian pursued this film, even though she doesn't identify as a ‘comic geek' ●      The importance of having queer stories represented in comics that are humorous, but also poignant●      How Vivian came up with a way to portray these artists and their work in a dynamic way ●      Celebrating Tongues Untied, a landmark film she produced with Marlon Riggs, entering into the in the National Film RegistryGuest Info:●      Vivian's Website ●      Vivian's Instagram ●      Vivian's LinkedIn ●      No Straight Lines Website Follow Me:●      My LinkedIn●      Art Heals All Wounds Website●      Art Heals All Wounds Instagram●      Art Heals All Wounds Twitter ●      Art Heals All Wounds Facebook●      Art Heals All Wounds Newsletter

In There's a Disco Ball Between Us: A Theory of Black Gay Life (Duke UP, 2022), Jafari S. Allen offers a sweeping and lively ethnographic and intellectual history of what he calls “Black gay habits of mind.” In conversational and lyrical language, Allen locates this sensibility as it emerged from radical Black lesbian activism and writing during the long 1980s. He traverses multiple temporalities and locations, drawing on research and fieldwork conducted across the globe, from Nairobi, London, and Paris to Toronto, Miami, and Trinidad and Tobago. In these locations and archives, Allen traces the genealogies of Black gay politics and cultures in the visual art, poetry, film, Black feminist theory, historiography, and activism of thinkers and artists such as Audre Lorde, Marsha P. Johnson, Essex Hemphill, Colin Robinson, Marlon Riggs, Pat Parker, and Joseph Beam. Throughout, Allen renarrates Black queer history while cultivating a Black gay method of thinking and writing. In so doing, he speaks to the urgent contemporary struggles for social justice while calling on Black studies to pursue scholarship, art, and policy derived from the lived experience and fantasies of Black people throughout the world. Brittney Edmonds is an Assistant Professor of Afro-American Studies at UW-Madison. I specialize in 20th and 21st century African American Literature and Culture with a special interest in Black Humor Studies. Read more about my work at brittneymichelleedmonds.com.

Brad McDermott joins to take a deep dive into the boxset of Marlon Riggs.

In a belated celebration of Pride Month and Juneteenth, we discuss the "Signifyin'" works of Marlon Riggs. The late gay black activist and documentarian icon's work begins in 1981 with Marlon's U.C. Berkeley thesis Long Train Running: The Story of Oakland Blues. We cover his beginnings and work up to 1992 in part one of our filmography review of Marlon Riggs.

So delighted to present the important episode of The Intersection: Diverse Folx Converse: Episode 11: Black Queerness in Media: They Ain't Ready, But Here We Are… Special Guest, Dr. Kenneth Bryant Jr., Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Texas at Tyler, and Director of EDEN Film Series. In this 1-hour episode Dr. Bryant and I discuss Lil' Nas X, Black Queer Masculinity in Public Culture, and Marlon Riggs, and more! If you're familiar with Black cinema and culture as well as the topic of Black queerness in media--GREAT! If not, that's okay! You're welcome to join us to learn more about Black representation and the ways in which misrepresentations have taken their toll on what Marlon Riggs called the "internalized imaginations" of Black people. Dr. Kenneth Bryant Jr offers many different ways to de-center tropes of the Black queer male asexual "side kick" and other harmful representations. We then turn the conversation to ways films in the EDEN Film Series and unapologetically bold art like Lil' Nas X's "Montero" work to curb Black queer alienation, especially with Black queer youth. EDEN stands for Exploring Diverse Experiences and Narratives. Join us for this deep dive and a conversation I've never had with anyone before about representation and Black culture. Join us in The Intersection where Diverse Folk Converse to hear this unedited talk here first! I believe podcasts are an extension of DIY punk culture where zines were photo-copied, unedited, and urgent voices from the front lines of culture, art, intellect, oppression, and social struggles. Just like these zines were beautiful and authentic, The Intersection: Diverse Folx Converse strives to provide original content made by and for QPoC and GNC people. Whether you're within our community or allied or just curious, you're welcome to be a part of our conversation or listen in. You'll hear topics not discussed anywhere else. In ways you're never thought about before! We look forward to seeing you there! Dr. Shannon, Host of The Intersection: Diverse Folx Converse

It has been a while since Erik Childress and Sergio Mims informed you of the latest and greatest in Blu-rays, but they are back with a vengeance. In this episode, they go from Criterion and Tom Noonan's directorial debut to films that were big parts of their childhood and made their adult selves feel that age again. There are musicals and westerns, Gun Hill and Walter Hill, mad monks, killer cats and big fish. They save plenty of room for big discussions about Joe Dante's Explorers and Cameron Crowe's Explorers while also digging into the new Indiana Jones set now available in glorious 4K. You will feel like a kid again and want to pick these films up to be part of the library that streaming cannot rob you of. 0:00 – Intro 3:43 – Criterion (Pariah, The Signifyin' Works of Marlon Riggs) 14:58 – Indicator (Shadow of the Cat, Nightmares) 25:23 – PBS (Hemingway) 27:19 - Shout Factory (Rasputin The Mad Monk, Explorers) 57:35 - Sony (Big Fish, Last Action Hero) 1:13:09 – Oscilloscope (What Happened Was) 1:22:16 – Paramount (48 Hrs., Another 48 Hrs., Super 8, Almost Famous, Indiana Jones Collection, Last Train From Gun Hill) 2:06:54 – Warner Archive (The Ziegfield Follies, There was a Crooked Man, Guns of Sans Sebastian) 2:33:43 - Outro

Welcome back to OLL OBOUT OVID!, the podcast from Witney Seibold and B Peterson dedicated to the arthouse streaming service Ovid.tv! In this episode, we essentially expand on our last one, with Witney giving his thoughts on SO PRETTY, the queer film from Jessie Jefferey Dunn Rovinelli which B reviewed last week, and further discussion of the films of Marlon Riggs, specifically his 1989 experimental documentary TONGUES UNTIED, his 1991 short ANTHEM, his 1991 PBS special COLOR ADJUSTMENT, and his final film from 1995 BLACK IS... BLACK AIN'T. We hope you enjoy, and thank you for your time.

The T.R.U.T.H. Project is a non-profit in Houston that works to educate and mobilize LGBTQ+ communities of color and their allies, with resources that promote mental, emotional and sexual health through the arts. The group's founder, Kevin Anderson, recently received a grant to produce a new digital documentary entitled, "Black Boy Symphony." Shot at the Deluxe Theatre in Houston's historic downtown 5th Ward, the film explores the lives of several gay men of color in the wake of a global pandemic. Brave Black men of varying ages reveal plenty about their authentic selves and the challenges they face, including racism, homophobia and marginalization. Host Eddie Robinson chats with Anderson, the film's creator, along with one of the men featured in the movie, John Nicklos, in a deeply moving discussion that's bold, provocative and unguarded.

OLL OBOUT OVID!, the podcast dedicated to Ovid.tv, is back again! This week, Witney and B, once again recording virtually, discuss SO PRETTY (2019), a queer exploration of love and literature from Jessie Jefferey Dunn Rovinelli, LA COMMUNE (PARIS, 1871), a 2000 documentary in which Peter Watkins recreates a historical movement with the use of live theater, and four films from queer legend Marlon Riggs, those being ETHNIC NOTIONS (1986), AFFIRMATIONS (1990), ANTHEM (1991), and NO REGRETS (1992).

AYA VS. THE BIG BOYS vs. MOMMY.... How Freudian! Closing out June's Pride programming double feature is Xavier Dolan's explosive, Tumblr-friendly MOMMY, one of the most discussed & adored films of the 2010s.... Until it suddenly became one of the decade's forgotten smash hits. Huh? How'd that happen? Young men making movies in their 20s, MOMMY's huge year amongst film bros and subsequent burial from the critical consciousness, and Dolan's bizarre choice to inject dystopian sci-fi in a domestic drama. Also, the duo answers once and for all: why is Xavier Dolan in IT: CHAPTER TWO?Your speakers are fine, Aya has just become an NPR Andy. Who is Aya hiding from? Is there someone in the house?

Oriana speaks with the artist Harold Offeh whose practice engages with identity politics via an ambivalent and humorous self-casting within the pop-cultural material he admires (and in some cases, finds problematic).  He pre-empts his own type-casting by pointedly living within certain racialised stereotypes including the Mammy, an Afro-Brazilian manual labourer and a toilet attendant. The discussion touches upon a range of topics such as cultural appropriation; national identity and belonging; decolonising the curriculum; and the undervaluing of the formal qualities of feminist and anti-racist art. Dr Oriana Fox is a London-based, New York-born artist with a PhD in self-disclosure. She puts her expertise to work as the host of the talk show performance piece The O Show .Harold Offeh is an artist working in a range of media including performance, video, photography, learning and social arts practice. Offeh is interested in the space created by the inhabiting or embodying of histories. He employs humour as a means to confront the viewer with historical narratives and contemporary culture. He has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally including Tate Britain and Tate Modern, South London Gallery, Turf Projects, London, Kettle's Yard, Cambridge, Wysing Art Centre, Studio Museum Harlem, New York, MAC VAL, France. He lives in Cambridge and works in London and Leeds, UK where he is currently a Reader in Fine Art at Leeds Beckett University.Additional Artists Mentioned: Hattie McDaniel, Adrian Piper, Marlon Riggs, Sondra Perry, David Hammons, VALIE EXPORT, Mierle Laderman UkelesCredits:Hosted, edited and produced by Oriana FoxPost-production mixing by Stacey HarveyThemesong written and performed by Paulette HumanbeingSpecial thanks to Katie Beeson, Janak Patel, Sven Olivier Van Damme and the Foxes and Hayeses.

Pour ce quatrième épisode, mon invité est Nicolas Medy. Nicolas est réalisateur. Durant cet entretien, nous avons parlé de son rapport à l'art et des différents médiums par lesquels il est passé, allant de son éducation musicale classique à la photographie et au dessin, avant d'arriver au film plus tardivement. Il m'a raconté sa difficulté à assumer son envie de s'exprimer à travers la fiction au cinéma, avant de découvrir des réalisateurs et réalisatrices comme Julie Dash et Marlon Riggs ; qui en mettant en scène des personnages queer et racisés l'ont aidé à se sentir légitime dans sa propre créativité. Nous avons également parlé de son choix de faire des films avec un très petit budget et des limites que cela comporte, de son ambivalence à s'inscrire dans un système de production traditionnel, et de son évolution politique à travers les quatre court-métrages qu'il a à son actif. J'espère que cette épisode vous plaira. Bonne écoute! Vous pouvez suivre Nicolas sur instagram sous le pseudo @medy_nicolas Son court-métrage Soleils Bruns sera visible cette semaine, du 13 au 18 octobre, à la galerie Sept Elzévir à Paris dans le cadre de l'exposition Masculinité(s) du Festival du Film de Fesses. En ce moment, Nicolas a plusieurs projets : il tourne son prochain court-métrage Nuit de Chine, il prépare le tournage de Venus Retrograde, un court-métrage pour le Festival du Film de Fesses coécrit et coréalisé avec Valentin Noujaim, et il tournera ce mois-ci un clip pour le groupe Mansfield TYA. Il travaille également avec l'artiste Fred Morin sur la mise en scène d'une performance, Playback, autour de Didon et Enée de Purcell. musique du générique : Podiab Club Si vous voulez suivre Couleurs Primaires, les épisodes sont disponibles sur Soundcloud, Apple podcast, Deezer, Podcast Addict et Spotify.

Love is, of course, in the air, and with most new release schedules in hibernation, February can be a great time for repertory cinema for both lovers and loners. Guests Nellie Killian (FC contributing editor and independent programmer) and Jon Dieringer (founder of Screen Slate) join Film Comment Editor-in-Chief Nicolas Rapold to run down the best rep screenings on offer around New York City. First up are two series at Anthology Film Archives: the annual “Valentine's Day Massacre”—featuring mainstays Albert Brooks's Modern Romance and Maurice Pialat's We Won't Grow Old Together—and “In-Person Reenactment,” featuring Martha Coolidge's Not a Pretty Picture. The three also discuss new documentaries about outsider musicians, the recently wrapped-up Film Comment Selects series, the Marlon Riggs series at BAM, and Claire Simon's The Competition, among others.
