Join us for the third event in a 4-part series by the Center for Constitutional Rights and Haymarket Books marking the 20th anniversary of 9/11. In “Stories of Survival: Surviving the post-9/11 human rights crisis and reclaiming rights for all,” we are honored to hear from survivors of the U.S. government's so-called “War on Terror,” who have resisted the U.S.' campaign of human rights abuses, from endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to the global export of the nebulous and discriminatory “terrorism framework”, and the proliferation of domestic policies of surveillance and detention that reinforced existing systems of oppression. From Kabul and Mombasa to Omaha--panelists will share the impact of the harms and together demand accountability and imagine a world repaired.

In this episode, Eric speaks with artist Mark Steven Greenfield; about his journey and education in the arts and the great artists who mentored him. They discuss his experience of growing up and living in the Philippines and Germany and how that shaped his outlook on life and ideas of racism and oppression. They discuss his body of work that deals with themes such as  African American stereotypes, spiritual practices, social justice, meditative practices and  abstraction. The life of an artist, the importance of craft, the need to find a way to support their passion and the delicate balance of making a living and staying true to one's artistic integrity. Greenfield's thought-provoking and controversial series "Blackatcha" and his intention of 'reappropriating the appropriated' in order to neutralize the effects of racist stereotypes, his most recent work focuses on the mystery surrounding “The Black Madonna”.

Don't let the title of tonight's show fool you!  I was pleased to meet Amanda Yates Garcia, known as the Oracle of Los Angeles, after she gave a presentation on the history of witchcraft at the mainstream and prestigious Hammer Museum in Los Angeles last month.  Amanda was initiated into witchcraft by her mother at age 13 and has been practicing magic and divination ever since.  A woman with an impressive resume who has managed to move freely and seemingly effortlessly within the mainstream garnering acceptance and admirers, she speaks to me tonight about her personal mojo and magical praxis which covers topics ranging from Love Spells to Money Magic and Psychic Self-Defense. She's the host of KCHUNG's Oracle Hour radio show, she leads a monthly mystery school, and she leads public rituals in very visible places like the Women's Center for Creative Work, Human Resources and Side Street Projects.  Yes, she lives in very liberal and "blue" Los Angeles, but I think she's stumbled on something and we'll get to the bottom of her success in our chat tonight!

The Oracle of Los Angeles is the guest. Her name is Amanda Yates Garcia. She is an artist, writer, witch, healer, and oracle. Recent performance rituals include Capitalism Exorcism at Human Resources and Devouring Patriarchy at the Women’s Center for Creative Work. Other venues to feature her work include Side Street Projects, REDCAT, Public Fiction, Highways Performance Space, and the Laband and Ben Maltz galleries among others. Her writing has been featured in publications such as CARLA, Black Clock, the Rough Magickanthology, Entropy, Synema Publikationen (Cinema Magazine), and WITCH. Amanda hosts her bi-monthly show The Oracle Hour on KCHUNG radio; teaches the Magical Praxis monthly mystery school; and performs private rites of healing and empowerment at her magical studio in West Adams.
