Carl Von Linne debatten. Den fantastiske svarte kroppen, hva er rasistisk med det? Hvorfor må enkeltpersoner gå i forsvar for hele kulturer og land? Det fine med ordet melaninrik. Kan man forstå rasisten?
Overlevelsesstrategier, en vestlig kultur som ikke verdsetter annerledeshet, kolonialiseringen, media sin rolle i rasismedebatten og det problematiske med å stille spørsmålet “hvor kommer du fra?”

Leading black British theatre company Talawa, which will celebrate its 35th birthday in 2021, is releasing a series of short online films titled Tales from the Frontline that examine the experiences of black frontline workers during the coronavirus pandemic through monologues compiled from the words of real people through interviews. BTG Editor David Chadderton spoke to Talawa’s Artistic Director, Michael Buffong, who also directed the first of the films, after two of the proposed six films had been released: one from the perspective of a schoolteacher and the other from the words of an NHS recovery worker. They spoke about the reasons behind a project that Michael believes is essential to make sure that the contributions made by black workers to the essential services that keep the country functioning during the current crisis are documented so that they are not forgotten. They also spoke about plans for Talawa’s 35th birthday celebrations next year, and about the impressive list of productions that Michael has directed at Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre over nearly two decades. Tales from the Frontline can be watched for free on Talawa’s web site and YouTube channel, although donations are being requested for the charity Black Minds Matter UK.

Raseprofilering, diskriminering i arbeidsliv, utdanning og boligmarked – norske borgere utsettes fortsatt for rasisme. Hvordan kan vi bekjempe det? Nylig har vi kunnet lese om grove tilfeller av rasisme og diskrimering. “Anna” ble nektet jobb som vikar på sykehjem fordi hun hadde feil hudfarge. Adam ble kalt “jævla apekatt” av sine kolleger på universitetet (!). Det er ikke tvil om at rasismen finnes i Norge. I ukas episode diskuterer vi hvordan vi som politikere og samfunn best kan møte den. Panelet: Thomas Talawa Prestø (Danser/koreograf, aktivist, tidligere leder for African Youth In Norway og rådgiver i Organisasjonen mot offentlig diskriminering, OMOD), Rauand Ismail (sentralstyremedlem i Grønn Ungdom) og Anita Rathore (nestleder for OMOD), samt programledere Anna Kvam og Lage Nøst. Her kan du lese om “Anna”: https://www.vartoslo.no/anna-nektet-jobb-ved-kommunalt-sykehjem-i-oslo-fordi-hun-var-mork-i-huden/ og Adam: https://universitas.no/sak/63355/adam-ble-sykemeldt-etter-langvarig-rasisme-pa-jobb/
I met up and chatted to Adwoa-Alexsis Mintah and Berri George who are bringing Shadow Kingdoms to Theatre503 from June 5th - 16th. We chatted writing, performing, networking and more. Adwoa-Alexis is the producer but trained as an actor. She began producing because she wanted to be in something and it continued from there. She now has her own production company, Minty Fresh that focuses on unheard stories. Berri George is a writer and the artistic director of Barefaced Theatre Company. She has been commissioned by both my Talawa and The Royal Exchange. She is a graduate of both the Belgrade Theatre’s Critical Mass and the Royal Court Theatre local invitation playwriting schemes. She wrote Shadow Kingdoms as an inspiration from those who don't have a place within the scheme.

On Start the Week Tom Sutcliffe discusses shame and betrayal. Jennifer Jacquet argues that modern-day shaming of corporations is a powerful tool to bring about change. However Jon Ronson believes too many lives have been devastated by public shaming and ridicule. Judas is a name synonymous with betrayal but Peter Stanford asks whether in the 21st century he has become the ultimate scapegoat? Arthur Miller's play All My Sons is a classic tale of family, loyalty, guilt, and betrayal and is brought to the stage by the artistic director of Talawa, Michael Buffong. Producer: Katy Hickman.
BIG GUESTS THIS WEEK... TALAWA is a well-known and internationally celebrated Costa Rican based reggae super group. They explore sounds from the 70's and have recorded their entire, soon to be released, second album, "Reggae Revival", with the finest vintage equipment. Tony Roy was born in St. Thomas, Jamaica and knew he wanted to be a musician early on. His parents didn't agree so he made his way on his own. He was lead for the band Chosen People who recorded several popular songs. They toured internationally and opened for artists such as the honorable Mr. Dennis Brown, Tony's mentor. Tony's still going strong, listen up. Coming to you live from Costa Rica and brought to you by the La Reserva Forest Foundation (LRFF). We invite you to participate in this most interesting and interactive show by calling in or participating in the "green" chat room. LRFF is working to solve climate change and lost resources by restoring the tropical forests in the "lungs of the world". Climate change is our continuing topic. It's being caused by human activity not volcanoes, solar activity or a universal conspiracy. This is a platform for everyone to tell us your views on cc, ask questions about this most important issue. The majority of people are very uninformed about cc because it has become unmentionable in the mainstream media. Talking about it is the first step to solving it. As always great roots and culture music plus interesting Caribbean news and events. Give us a call, get involved! (661) 467-2407

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the theatre director Yvonne Brewster. She has been a major force in black British theatre for the last 20 years. Born into a wealthy family in Jamaica, Yvonne rebelled against her parents' plans for her - marriage and children - to become a theatrical pioneer. She says she was the first black drama student in Britain - but when she enrolled, her drama school's principal told her that, as a black actress, she would never get work here. She went on to become the first black woman to direct at the National Theatre. Throughout her career Yvonne has been an outspoken proponent of black theatre. In 1986 she founded the theatre company Talawa, whose name in Jamaican dialect means tough or feisty. Talawa gained attention - and audiences - by putting on productions such as an all-black Importance of Being Earnest.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Many Rivers to Cross by Jimmy Cliff Book: Primer to learn Italian and tape Luxury: Olive oil
