Il y a quelques années, une série a marqué les esprits de tout le monde grâce à ses personnages toutes vêtues de orange (ou de marron mais vous visualisez le truc), et grâce à celle dont on parle aujourd'hui : Sophia Burset d'Orange Is The New Black ! Une vraie Basquiat de la coiffure et du style, et la confidente sympathique, Sophia est surtout une dure à cuire qui a justement vu pas mal de feux dans sa vie. Et même si elle va pas venir en rave party avec nous tout de suite, parce que la prison, elle reste une femme libre. Merci à Jayhan (@JayhanOfficial) pour les super intro et outro ! Tu peux nous suivre sur Twitter et Instagram : @codexespod et aussi nous laisser une note et un commentaire sympa si tu veux. Force et amour.

EP40 - I have a love/hate relationship with Orange is the New Black. While you could argue that the show has a diverse cast of characters bringing representations to media, it's also easy for those characters to also turn into "token" characters, especially when it comes to Sophia Burset. Art by Jeremy Ferris. New episodes released the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month. www.burstyourbubblepodcast.com www.facebook.com/burstyourbubblepodcast www.twitter.com/burstbubblespod  

I programmet medverkar tre musiker och tonsättare som alla har djupa rötter i den amerikanska södern: kontratenoren och pianisten M Lamar, pianisten Althea Waites och trumpetaren Wadada Leo Smith. Kontratenoren, pianisten och posören M Lamar är känd för en svensk publik, och har bland annat spelat vid Stockholm International Queerfeminist & Anti-Racist Performance Festival. M Lamar tar upp ämnen som makt, kön och slaveriets historia. Vi hör delar av hans musikstycke Speculum Orum. Många slavar försökte begå självmord genom att bita sig igenom sina egna handleder. Andra vägrade äta. Då uppfann vita doktorer Speculum Orum, en saxliknande anordning för tvångsmatning, berättar M Lamar, vars stycke The Tree handlar om lynchning. Författaren James Baldwin sa att Historia är inget som vi läser om i böcker. Historia är inte det förflutna, historia är nu!. Att förstå lidandet och var det kommer ifrån ger mig kraft att fortsätta. Vi bär ju med oss lidandet antingen vi vill eller inte, säger M Lamar.Kuriosa: M Lamar är enäggad tvillingbror till transpersonen Laverne Cox, som spelar transkvinnan Sophia Burset i Netflix-serien Orange is the New Black. Pianisten Althea Waites upplevde 50-talets segregation i New Orleans.Där fanns skiljeväggar mellan säten för vita och svarta i bussarna, just det som Rosa Parks upplevde. Althea kunde inte prova kläder i varuhusen och det fanns biografer för vita dit svarta aldrig fick tillträde. Hon har uruppfört flera bortglömda pianoverk av svarta tonsättare, bland annat Pianosonat i e-moll av Beatrice Price. Flera är mästerverk och det krävs en bländande teknik och djup musikalitet för att tolka dem, förklarar Althea Waits.Jazzlegenden, trumpetaren Wadada Leo Smith, komponerade sviten Ten Freedom Summers. Sviten spelas av kammarensemble och jazzkvintett. Styckena har titlar som Emmet Till, Rosa Parks, Medgar Evers, Black Church, John F Kennedy och Martin Luther King. Denna musikaliska svit är en omfattande undersökning av medborgarrättsrörelsen i USA mellan 1954 och 1964, förklarar Wadada Leo Smith. Jag vill visa att svarta erfarenheter är amerikanska erfarenheter, inte isolerade rasistiska företeelser. De två absolut viktigaste uppgifterna idag är att bekämpa rasismen och sexismen, säger Wadada Leo Smith.I sin Golden Quartet spelar Wadada Leo Smith med Anthony Davis på piano, John Lindberg på bas och och Susie Ibarra på slagverk.Pianisten och tonsättaren Margaret Bonds levde 1913 - 1972. Hon var en av de första svarta tonsättarna och utövarna av klassisk musik som vann erkännande i USA. Hon samarbetade bl a med poeten och dramatikern Langston Hughes. Margaret Bonds tonsatte det virtuosa stycket Troubled Water, en noterad improvisation kring en negro spiritual med titeln Wade in the Water.

In the last few years, there has been ever increasing media attention on the subject of incarceration, particularly in how those institutions affect transgender inmates. From CeCe McDonald's imprisonment for defending herself in an assault, to Laverne Cox's portrayal as Sophia Burset in Orange Is the New Black, to Jennicet Gutierrez's White House protest of transgender detainee treatment in ICE custody. Today we have two guests joining us to discuss the current state of the American prison system, the concept of abolition and the reforms necessary to protect transgender and gender non-conforming prisoners. Joining me are Mik Kinkead, staff attorney … The post The Injustice of Incarceration appeared first on The Strong Stance.
