This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! We continue our series on Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower: The Election Episode. We speak to Nube Brown, sister broadcaster, at KPOO 89.5 FM in San Francisco. Her series on CA prisons has a wide following. She joins us to talk about parallels between Butler's dystopian California, USA 2024 and California, USA now. There is an election and the protagonist Lauren Oya Olamina and her chosen family are headed to north, from LA. They settle in Humbodlt County, which happens to be where Nube raised her son and where her mother still resides.  We talk about ballot measures, specifically 6, 33, and 36. Listen up. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the episode and other related themes or topics.  Musically, we feature: Nana Sula Spirit's "Oya, The Transformer featuring Sunni Patterson (poet)."

6.14.24 - Shaddai Livingston & Sunni Patterson by Crosstown Conversations

In our season finale, we shine a spotlight on the vital leadership of Black women in the realm of environmental justice. Often, after environmental catastrophes wreak havoc on frontline communities, well-funded environmental organizations descend like Trojan horses, offering solutions that often lack community input. In some cases, these organizations and their so-called 'relief' efforts blow in and out of communities as quickly as the crises themselves.   Today, our co-hosts Shilpi Chhotray and Alexis Young explore the enduring impact of Black women leaders who have nurtured spaces of care and refuge for communities on the frontlines of the climate justice movement. Joining us are remarkable individuals who have dedicated their lives to urgent issues that affect their communities.   Roishetta Sibley Ozane, founder of The Vessel Project of Louisiana; Dr. Beverly Wright, founder of The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice; and Wawa Gatheru, founder of Black Girl Environmentalist, share their journeys and insights. These visionary leaders have focused on creating sustainable, community-centered solutions that prioritize long-term well-being.   Join us for a captivating discussion as we honor the incredible contributions of Black women in environmental justice, highlighting their enduring commitment to communities that cannot escape the frontlines of the climate justice movement. You'll want to listen to the very end for a special poem by internationally-acclaimed poet and activist Sunni Patterson.   Check out our website for additional reporting on guests featured on Season Four of The People over Plastic podcast. https://peopleoverplastic.co  

Sad news for all of us: producer Rachael Cusick— who brought us soul-stirring stories rethinking grief (https://zpr.io/GZ6xEvpzsbHU) and solitude (https://zpr.io/eT5tAX6JtYra), as well as colorful musings on airplane farts (https://zpr.io/CNpgUijZiuZ4) and belly flops (https://zpr.io/uZrEz27z63CB) and Blueberry Earths (https://zpr.io/EzxgtdTRGVzz)— is leaving the show. So we thought it perfect timing to sit down with her and revisit another brainchild of hers, The Cataclysm Sentence, a collection of advice for The End. To explain: one day in 1961, the famous physicist Richard Feynman stepped in front of a Caltech lecture hall and posed this question to a group of undergraduate students: “If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence was passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?” Now, Feynman had an answer to his own question—a good one. But his question got the entire team at Radiolab wondering, what did his sentence leave out? So we posed Feynman's cataclysm question to some of our favorite writers, artists, historians, futurists—all kinds of great thinkers. We asked them “What's the one sentence you would want to pass on to the next generation that would contain the most information in the fewest words?” What came back was an explosive collage of what it means to be alive right here and now, and what we want to say before we go.

When I say the word “drainage,” what do you think of? Do you think about the rain rushing down the street into the gutter? The way water does or does not flow into and out the city? Or do you think about the drainage of resources? Economic? Environmental? Emotional? Right after Katrina, the population of New Orleans decreased by more than half. Every year since, while it never got back to pre-K levels, it's steadily risen. Until these past couple of years. And in 2015, ten years after the storm, there were 100 thousand less black residents than in 2005. We’re losing people. These stats got me thinking about all of the iterations of this concept of drainage. So I talked to a few people about it, and here’s what they had to say. ---------------- The voices you heard in this piece were, in order of appearance Sunni Patterson, Ramiro Diaz, David Weinberg, Rebecca Duckert, Pericles Papadopoulos, Lisanne Brown, Kerrie Stewart, Liz Beeson and Shauna Leone.

Episode 2 of Antipod is the second in a two-part series dedicated to the life, work, and wisdom of Dr. Clyde Adrian Woods. This episode builds on the conversation that Akira and Brian had in the Episode 1, which engaged with a pair of panel discussions held in 2018 at the New Orleans Community Book Center and the American Association of Geographers (AAG) Annual Meeting. The panels focused on Dr. Woods’s Development Drowned and Reborn: The Blues and Bourbon Restorations of Post-Katrina New Orleans, edited by Jordan T. Camp and Laura Pulido (University of Georgia Press, 2017). In Episode 2, hosts Allison Guess and Alex Moulton dive deeper on themes presented in Episode 1, especially Woods’s notion of the Blues Epistemology. Allison and Alex trade licks with Dr. Woods, Sunni Patterson, and Dee-1, among others and craft a multi-layered understanding of the Blues Epistemology. They do so in conversation with “No One Knows the Mysteries at the Bottom of the Ocean,” which is the opening chapter of Black Geographies and the Politics of Place (Between the Lines Press, 2007), a book co-edited by Dr. Woods and Dr. Katherine McKittrick (Queen’s University, Canada). As they unfold the notions of “the underside,” “the bottom of the belly,” and “Blues time,” Allison and Alex refer to and draw upon a panel organized by the Antipod Sound Collective at the 2019 American Association of Geographers Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. That panel, titled “Creating a Soundscape of Radical Imagination: Podcasts as Scholarship,” involved a conversation among the Antipod Sound Collective members and Nerve V. Macaspac (Assistant Professor, College of Staten Island, City University of New York). ◆◆◆ Our theme music is "It’s Not Jazz" by Tronx. archive.org/details/netlabels archive.org/details/dystopiaq02…TronxItsNotJazz.mp3 Our interstitial music in this episode is: “I Am Who I Am” by Dee-1 featuring Shamarr Allen (Produced by Shamarr Allen); “When the Levee Breaks,” by Kansas Joe and Memphis Minnie; and “Attention” by Dee-1 featuring Sunni Patterson (Produced by Mystro). https://archive.org/details/Kansas_Joe_Memphis_Minnie-When_Levee_Breaks https://archive.org/details/Dee-1_-_The_Focus_Tape Our outro music for this episode is from a live performance of the New Orleans-based New Breed Brass Band, recorded on January 18, 2019 at the Crystal Bay Club in Crystal Bay, Nevada. https://archive.org/details/NewBreedBrassBand-TheRedRoomCrystalBayClubCrystalBayNV18-JAN-2019 Music from all of these artists is available on archive.org and licensed under Creative Commons 3.0. creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ ◆◆◆ Make sure to follow us on Twitter! @ThisIsAntipod and Instagram @antipod2019 and subscribe to our podcast.

In this first full episode of Antipod we turn our attention to Black Geographies, the theme of our first season. Hosts Brian Williams and Akira Drake Rodriguez walk listeners through a series of clips from a panel on Clyde Woods’s posthomously published work Development Drowned and Reborn: The Blues and Bourbon Restorations of Post-Katrina New Orleans, edited by Jordan T. Camp and Laura Pulido (University of Georgia Press, 2017). Brian and Akira comment on the use of Woods’s “blues epistemology” framework to contextualize the ongoing making and re-making of Black geographies in New Orleans. Covering themes from dispossession to displacement to the fallacy of “natural” disasters, this episode challenges traditional notions of urban planning and privileges what Woods’s calls “the visions of the dispossessed.” Clips from this episode are from an “Author Meets Critics” panel at the Community Book Center in New Orleans’s Seventh Ward, a space of continuity for pre- and post-Katrina New Orleans residents. The participants in the discussion were: former Woods student and activist-poet Sunni Patterson; Khalil Shahid, Senior Policy Advocate at the National Resource Defense Council; Anna Brand, Asst. Prof at the University of California at Berkeley; Shana Griffin from Jane’s Place, New Orleans’ first community land trust; Sue Mobley, who, at the time of the panel, was the Public Programs Manager for the Albert and Tina Small Center for Collaborative Design at Tulane University; and Jordan T. Camp (editor) who at the time of the panel was at Barnard College, and is now the Director of Research at the People’s Forum in New York.

By definition, an “icon” is usually a symbol or an image that stands for or represents something other than itself. As an artist, SHA'CONDRIA "iCON" SIBLEY has made a choice to represent the loving-kindness, creativity, and power of God through her gifts and talents. iCon is a nationally-acclaimed championship poet/spoken word artist/actress/teaching artist. As a founding member Team SNO (Slam New Orleans), she has helped to lead the team where few other slam teams have gone before, winning multiple regional and national titles, solidifying the team as a “dynasty” in the world of slam poetry. A lover of the stage, iCon has also been featured in several stage productions such as the musical, ‘Badu-izms’, a production of Eve Ensler’s ‘A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer’, ‘Housewarming’, and ‘Waiting to Be Invited’. She was featured in the EngageNOLA/Humid Being’s “If I Were Mayor” web commercial for the 2010 New Orleans mayoral race. She was a featured poet on the 3rd season of TV One's NAACP award-winning national hit TV show, ‘Verses and Flow’ engineered by Lexus, which aired in October 2013. In celebration of her love of the visual arts and jewelry, she and fellow artist Asia Rainey launched a line of highly sought after hand-painted, hand-crafted earrings called Dada Designs. Along with Rainey, iCon also filmed the video, ‘Ten Paces’ (2010), which served as the soundtrack to The Red Hand Campaign, started by the two in honor of slain toddler Jeremy Galmon to hold community members responsible for speaking up against violence. The pair also co-founded the Write!NOLA Festival (2012-13) to reunite and revitalize the New Orleans (residential and displaced) poetry community. In 2014, iCon partnered with the Alexandria Museum of Art in her hometown to become the host and organizer of the ‘Rhythm & Rhymes Spoken Word Performing Arts Series’, a quarterly showcase at the museum which has gained statewide popularity. Her work has been featured on many national and international outlets such as Upworthy, Huffington Post, For Harriet, Fusion, Marie Claire, and BET.com, especially after her poem “To All the Little Black Girls With Big Names” went viral. As a result, she also founded The Little Girls Big Names Project, which aims to encourage women and girls with unique names as well as combat name discrimination and stigma surrounding unorthodox names. Over the years, she has shared stages with the likes of Sunni Patterson, Taalam Acey, Abiodun Oyewole (The Last Poets), jessica care moore, Amanda Diva, The Tony Rich Project, and Dead Prez. She can be found all over the country performing on numerous stages and teaching workshops from colleges and universities, churches, schools, community centers, and detention centers to corner cyphers and living rooms. In addition to her many accomplishments, iCon also works teaching poetry to inmates at a federal correctional facility. Focused on not falling for anything, iCon stands for something. And that something is art. That something is God. That something is Love.

Ten years since the flooding of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, we look at the recovery, what worked and what didn't, with an extended interview with a former insider turned outsider. Oliver Thomas was city council president at the time of Hurricane Katrina, and was on his way to becoming the city's next mayor. Within a few years, he serving time in a federal prison, having pled guilty to taking a bribe related to permits on a parking lot. Now, he's a radio show commentator and activist, and discusses what went right and what went wrong in the recovery. We then hear another view on the recovery from New Orleans poet Sunni Patterson.     Follow GRITtv on twitter: http://twitter.com/grittv Follow Laura Flanders on twitter: https://twitter.com/GRITtv Subscribe to The Laura Flanders Show on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/laura-flanders-show-weekly/id959183227 Subscribe to The F Word on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/laura-flanders/id752300069?mt=2 Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/grittv
