Halim A. Flowers is inspiring a love revolution. He's a prolific artist, activist, and entrepreneur who's on another level. And for 22 years and 2 months, Halim spent his life in prison, labeled by society as an unredeemable “Superpredator”. It was during this time that Halim went from reading everything he could get his hands on, to publishing 11 books of prose and poetry from behind bars. But what no one could predict was how Halim's words would manifest into a life of freedom, faith, and internationally acclaimed creativity today. Although we had planned to talk about Halim's favorite book - Marking Time by Nicole Fleetwood - we hit it off so quickly that we ended up just having an incredible conversation about everything that's on Halim's mind these days. In this episode, Halim raps with us about the importance of reading right now, the keys to creating wealth, how he bridges old and new culture through art, and how he thinks about time. Halim dropped so many gems in this interview, we know you'll love it. Halim A.

Ep.98 features Dr. Nicole Fleetwood. She is an art historian and curator exploring how the art of incarcerated people is essential to our understandings of contemporary art, the carceral state, and the humanity it contains. Fleetwood's earlier work focused on representations of Blackness in art, performance, and popular culture, particularly how assumptions within American culture about Blackness are disrupted or reinforced by Black artists and public figures. In part motivated by her experiences visiting imprisoned family members, Fleetwood turned her keen curatorial vision to artistic production in and around the United States prison system. In the book Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration (2020), and an accompanying museum exhibition of the same name, Fleetwood investigates the cultural, personal, and aesthetic significance of incarcerated people's art. The book is the most extensive work to apply the interpretive methods of art history to study the art people make within prison. Drawing on interviews with over seventy currently and formerly incarcerated artists and hundreds of paintings, photos, collages, and other forms of art, Fleetwood develops a concept of “carceral aesthetics” to understand both the works of art produced by incarcerated individuals and the constrained conditions under which they were created. She pays particular attention to the ways people build a sense of themselves and community through creative connection despite the circumstances of imprisonment. For example, the artists Gilberto Rivera, Jesse Krimes, and Jared Owens established a conceptual art workshop focused on multiracial collaboration while serving time at the Fairton Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey. Another artist, Tyra Patterson, created multimedia portraits inspired by other incarcerated women. Fleetwood's emphasis on both the artworks' aesthetic value and the artists' ingenuity in finding ways to convey their creative vision is a powerful testament to the humanity of all those impacted by the criminal justice system. In both the book and exhibition, she takes a deeply collaborative approach and centers the lived experiences of the artists themselves, many of whom participated in conferences, panel discussions, and other opportunities for public engagement that informed and emerged from the years of work that went into Marking Time. Fleetwood is demonstrating that art and imagery produced and used by incarcerated individuals is a critically important form of human expression, and her work sheds new light on the toll the criminal justice system in the United States takes on human lives.

Next month, New York City officials will vote on whether to give painter Faith Ringgold permission to move her painting “For the Women's House” from Rikers Island to the Brooklyn Museum. When Ringgold visited the painting in 2019, she found that it was not being well maintained, and wasn't even in view for most people being held at Rikers. The Takeaway speaks with Nicole Fleetwood, inaugural James Weldon Johnson professor of media, culture, and communications at New York University and 2021 MacArthur Fellow, and Russell Craig, a painter based in New York City, about how art is made and displayed in prisons and jails in the U.S.

Professor, art historian, and curator Dr. Nicole Fleetwood has spent years exploring the art of incarcerated people and how it is essential to our understanding of mass incarceration and the people it affects. A 2021 MacArthur Fellow, Fleetwood began this work as she reflected on her family's and community's history of imprisonment. The project grew into an award-winning book Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration and a traveling museum exhibition also titled “Marking Time.” Both the book and the exhibit look at the work of some 35 artists who are currently incarcerated, formerly incarcerated, or who've been affected by the prison system. In this podcast, Fleetwood discusses the ingenuity involved in creating art within the constraints of the prison system, the bonds that can be forged among prisoners who are artists, the sheer talent and dedication these artists bring to their work, and the insights about imprisonment that the artwork frequently displays. Dr. Fleetwood is passionate, knowledgeable, and deeply appreciative of the spark of creativity that won't be extinguished even under soul-crushing circumstances.

We live in strange times. Strange times, indeed. We went on break for the holidays, taking a little more time than expected as Wilson got and recovered from Covid. So we come back healthy and ready to go into season 2 of Unlearn Relearn, and what a time to return! Donald Trump, the guy we're still calling President, incited a coup attempt against the US Capitol this past week. Thousands stormed the Capitol ending with 5 people dead and dozens injured. This just one day after the State of Georgia voted and gave US Senate control to the Democrats. What a wild week this has been. In this episode we try our best to cover what was one of the most consequential weeks in American history. A Black man won a Senate seat in Georgia for the first time ever. He made history. That was Tuesday. That is what we should have been talking about and celebrating, but instead we are here talking about the events of Wednesday, because it almost ended American Democracy. We do our best to break down what happened and give details on the context and atmosphere created that lead up to this moment. Racism, bigotry, and antisemitism are as American as ever. We must learn the lessons from this tragedy so that we never repeat it. For better or worse, this is who we are. It is up to us, individually and collectively, to change that for the better. We also say the names of our fallen this week, Miriam Carey and Aleah Jenkins and we highlight activists doing amazing work, Nicole Fleetwood and Shirley Raines. This is Season 2 of Unlearn Relearn and we're proud of the work we're doing and humbled by your support. Please take care of yourself and each other. Reach out to us for sponsorships, donations, and feedback. We would love your input. And always, thanks so much for hanging with us as we unlearn the BS and relearn the good stuff. 1.

In this episode, Nicole Fleetwood, an Associate Professor in the Department of American Studies at Rutgers University and Graduate Faculty in the Department of Women's and Gender Studies, discusses her moving essay titled "Raising a Black Boy Not to Be Afraid: On the Casual Street Violence of Whiteness." The essay explores an experience her son had while walking to school alone in New York City. We explore the emotions, anxieties, and fears of young black boys in a country that is often hostile to their existence, as well as, what it's like to parent a brown or black child in America. https://lithub.com/raising-a-black-boy-not-to-be-afraid/ https://womens-studies.rutgers.edu/faculty/affiliate-faculty/592-fleetwood-nicole Learn more about your ad choices.
