Join Quenton Baker and special guests for a celebration of and conversation on their new book ballast. This event occurred on April 26, 2023. Ballast is a poetic sequence using the 1841 slave revolt aboard the brig Creole as a lens through which to view the vitality of Black lives and the afterlife of slavery. In 1841, the only successful, large-scale revolt of American-born enslaved people erupted on the ship Creole. 135 people escaped chattel slavery that day. The event was recounted in US Senate documents, including letters exchanged between US and British consulates in The Bahamas and depositions from the white crew on the ship. There is no known record or testimony from the 135 people who escaped. Their story has been lost to time and indifference. Quenton Baker's ballast is an attempt at incomplete redress. With imagination, deep empathy, and skilled and compelling lyricism, Baker took a black marker to those Senate documents and culled a poetic recount of the Creole revolt. Layers of ink connect readers to Baker's poetic process: (re)phrasing the narrative of the state through a dexterous process of hands-on redactions. Ballast is a relentless, wrenching, and gorgeously written book, a defiant reclamation of one of the most important but overlooked events in US history, and an essential contribution to contemporary poetry. Poets: Quenton Baker is a poet, educator, and Cave Canem fellow. Their current focus is black interiority and the afterlife of slavery. Their work has appeared in The Offing, jubilat, Vinyl, The Rumpus, and elsewhere.They are a two-time Pushcart Prize nominee and the recipient of the2018 Arts Innovator Award from Artist Trust.

Helal is the winner of BOMB Magazine's Biennial 2016 Poetry Contest and has been awarded fellowships from the Whiting Foundation, New York Foundation of the Arts, Jerome Foundation, Poets House, Brooklyn Poets, and Cave Canem, among others.

Let's zoom out a bit and have some charlas con Southern Compañia. We know that our lived experience in the south is multigenerational– sabemos que no es ayer que llegamos and many of our roots started decades ago. También sabemos that where you set up roots in the South also matters. Tune in as we explore the Latinx Southern experience from Arkansas, to Georgia, to North Carolina and beyond!When we say that “we control the narrative,” we mean it! Our history is no longer just being told about us by outsiders. We now have wonderful scholars exploring a history and experience that is also their own as southerners or children of immigrants. En estas charlas, each of our scholars Dr. Perla Guerrero, Dr. Yami Rodriguez, and Dr. Yuri Ramirez guide our storytellers on exploring how our southern communities formed within a particularly racialized southern landscape, how we find leisure and joy within the pressure of being mostly just tolerated as labor, and how our transnational immigrant identities also intersect with indigenous heritage, identity, and culture.    In this episode, Dr. Yuri Ramirez helps us be more introspective of the communities and identities that exist within our own folks which very much include indigenous identities and culture. Our storytellers get an opportunity to share their indigenous cultural backgrounds and how they nurture it even after generations since their families immigrated. We also break down how there are gaps in our own understanding of Latinx indigeneity given the depictions provided over pop culture and media. The historical anti-indigenous racism within many Latin American countries may sometimes lead to indigenous communities finding more of a refuge with places like the US South. Scholars: Perla Guerrero, Yami Rodriguez, Yuri RamirezStorytellers: Allison Delgado, Nancy Garcia Villa, Jonathan Perraza-Campos, Karina Moreno Bueno, Tania Dominguez, Producers: Julie Weise, Erik Valera,  Elaine Utin, Ricky Hurtado, Axel Herrera, Dorian GomezConsulting Scholars: Perla Guerrero, Yami Rodriguez, Yuri RamirezLatinxEd Staff: Maria Pulido, Bryan MejiaEditor: Axel Herrera Graphics: Keyla FerretizArticles and Materials Referenced:Immigrants Who Speak Indigenous Mexican Languages Encounter IsolationP'urhépecha Migrants in North Carolina: A Saint Day FestivalThis project was made possible through the generous support of North Carolina Humanities, The Whiting Foundation, and LatinxEd.Follow us on Social Media @NuestroSouthInstagram- https://www.instagram.com/nuestrosouth/Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/NuestroSouthTwitter- https://twitter.com/nuestrosouthTikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@nuestrosouthYoutube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNidXQ3-nyxqsb4R5UWJh4A/videosEmail: nuestrosouth@latinxed.orgWebsite: https://nuestrosouth.org/  Music for this video is obtain through the Artlist Personal License

Perla traces over how, al inicio, some folks couldn't even classify her correctly as Mexican because of the prior notions they had of what ‘Mexican' folks were. Our storytellers also break down how their families first experienced some of these highly racialized settings and some of the generational differences between moving to the South in the early 90s versus more recently. Lastly, we cover the resilience of nuestra comunidad and the richness of Black resistance in the South that we can learn from and draw a sense of hope for a more inclusive and equitable future. Scholars: Perla Guerrero, Yami Rodriguez, Yuri RamirezStorytellers: Allison Delgado, Nancy Garcia Villa, Jonathan Perraza-Campos, Karina Moreno Bueno, Tania DominguezProducers: Julie Weise, Erik Valera,  Elaine Utin, Ricky Hurtado, Axel Herrera, Dorian Gomez, Bryan MejiaConsulting Scholars: Perla Guerrero, Yami Rodriguez, Yuri RamirezLatinxEd Staff: Maria PulidoEditor: Axel Herrera Marketing & Graphics: Keyla FerretizArticles and Materials Referenced:Being illegal-it's a job - Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (Little Rock, AR) -March 24, 1997 - page 1AGuerrero, "Latinos in Arkansas and Illegal Aliens"This project was made possible through the generous support of North Carolina Humanities, The Whiting Foundation, and LatinxEd.Follow us on Social Media @NuestroSouthInstagram- https://www.instagram.com/nuestrosouth/Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/NuestroSouthTwitter- https://twitter.com/nuestrosouthTikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@nuestrosouthYoutube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNidXQ3-nyxqsb4R5UWJh4A/videosEmail: nuestrosouth@latinxed.orgWebsite: https://nuestrosouth.org/  Music for this video is obtain through the Artlist Personal License

La diversión, leisure, irse de parranda and all the ways we find joy are just as essential to the southern immigrant experience as is our history of struggle and hard work. For many early immigrant communities, arriving to the South brought some level of isolation, but over time, our folks started building community through music, bailes, going to las pulgas, playing soccer or other sports, and of course food. Scholars: Perla Guerrero, Yami Rodriguez, Yuri RamirezStorytellers: Allison Delgado, Nancy Garcia Villa, Jonathan Perraza-Campos, Karina Moreno Bueno, Tania Dominguez, Producers: Julie Weise, Erik Valera,  Elaine Utin, Ricky Hurtado, Axel Herrera, Dorian GomezConsulting Scholars: Perla Guerrero, Yami Rodriguez, Yuri RamirezLatinxEd Staff: Maria Pulido, Bryan MejiaEditor: Axel Herrera Graphics: Keyla FerretizArticles and Materials Referenced:“Las Trocas de Buford” by Los Reyes del CorridoMundo Hispanico Archives on Bailes In Atlanta GeorgiaThis project was made possible through the generous support of North Carolina Humanities, The Whiting Foundation, and LatinxEd.Follow us on Social Media @NuestroSouthInstagram- https://www.instagram.com/nuestrosouth/Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/NuestroSouthTwitter- https://twitter.com/nuestrosouthTikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@nuestrosouthYoutube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNidXQ3-nyxqsb4R5UWJh4A/videosEmail: nuestrosouth@latinxed.orgWebsite: https://nuestrosouth.org/  Music for this video is obtain through the Artlist Personal License

It's another episode on trailas but with a remix of regions and hosts. As young latinx southerners, where we grow up largely defines what our early sense of community is like. If you were ever part of that single trailer park bus-stop, you know what vecindades like this look like. Many times our goal is always to leave these living conditions, but in this conversation, we also reflect on the cultural significance they were for us and the economic circumstances that define those experiences.

If you're from the South, you know that Nuestra Gente have been written out of the history books.  So we took it upon ourselves to bring you the history we were not taught in school.  The Nuestro South podcast debuted in 2019. Now, we're back with new ingredients. Our stories feature illustrations by North Carolina artist,  Antonio Alanis on our Youtube video episode.  Our hosts Bryan, Daisy, Dorian, and Axel invite you to share in a rich conversation about growing up Latina/o/x in the South. You know the flavor. Welcome to Nuestro South, Refried!Our conversation in this episode is focused on the experience of immigrants coming into the Charlotte NC area in the 1990's and early 2000's. For those of us that grew up in the South during this period, schools became one of the first institutions our families interacted with. We discuss how our parents navigated that system, how we managed to survive through ESL, and ongoing resource gaps that even more recent immigrant communities still  face.Hosts: Daisy Almonte, Bryan Mejia, Axel Herrera, Dorian GomezProducers: Julie Weise, Erik Valera, Elaine Utin, Ricky HurtadoLatinxEd Staff: Maria Pulido, Lucero Rocha, Isabella LimaEditor: Dorian GomezIllustrator: Antonio AlanisGraphics: Keyla FerretizThis project was made possible through the generous support of The Whiting Foundation, the Southern Documentary Fund, and LatinxEDFollow us on Social Media @NuestroSouthInstagram- https://www.instagram.com/nuestrosouth/Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/NuestroSouthTwitter- https://twitter.com/nuestrosouthTikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@nuestrosouthYoutube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNidXQ3-nyxqsb4R5UWJh4A/videos  Email: nuestrosouth@latinxed.org Website: https://nuestrosouth.org/  Music for this video is obtain through the Artlist Personal License

I'm Josh Cooperman and this is Convo By Design. This episode features writer, speaker and architect, Peter Pennoyer. We are talking about classic architecture from a French Modern Townhouse to a rural Farm House, a log cabin in the Adirondacks. That is a broad stretch, so much to talk about. We are two weeks into 2022 and dealing with Omicron,  the next variant of this seemingly endless pandemic. I bring it up not to tell you what you already know, but because architecture and design are just as important to getting through this as vaccines and protective procedures. This is not a political statement, but one of empirical data. Interior designers are making our homes more functional and architects are crafting new concepts into homes of today to address these issues when something like this happens again. Peter Pennoyer is the founder of his namesake firm, Peter Pennoyer Architects. Peter is president of the Whiting Foundation, a nonprofit that supports scholars and writers. He has served on the board ion the Institute of Classical Architecture and his formal training in past architecture has influenced how he crafts for the future. Peter has been recognized and awarded far too often to mention them here. Awards follow the work, as form follows function. We discuss more about that and review some projects over the next hour. Enjoy this conversation with architect, Peter Pennoyer. But first, if you listened to last weeks episode you know, I made a very special announcement…Convo By Design presents the 2022 Remote Design House | Tulsa. A unique idea around an equally unique show house. I have been wanting to do another design house project for many years now, but the right opportunity had not presented itself. Sure, there were projects, but none were right for me. Then, the pandemic hit. Here I was, producing a podcast for 8 years and all of a sudden, the entire industry stops working in an office and trying to figure out what the future of design is even going to look like. I am going to go a bit further down that rabbit hole in future episodes. Right now, I want to tell you where this is all going. In the first 200 days of the pandemic, I recorded over 100 interviews, conversations and panels. Like you probably did, I dived into the work, for two reasons. The first was to keep myself from going crazy with a family of four in a small house, trying to keep everyone calm and not lose my cool in the face of something scary and unknown. The second part was a strong belief at the time that our industry was on the precipice of something amazing. I had no idea that the product would be in short supply until the summer of 2020. I was on a run in Manhattan Beach, California on day, unable to run along the Strand, I was forced into a neighboring alley and noticed all of the boxes awaiting trash pickup. I started counting and identifying the boxes which became a hobby and way on passing the miles while running through mostly empty streets and alleys. The boxes were TV's, appliances, office furniture and equipment. There were fitness equipment boxes and all kinds of design materials and product. I remember the “a-ha” moment for me was later in the Fall. I had completed recording and airing a series called, “Designing for Disaster.” You can still find these episodes in the CXD stream. Designers architects were telling me that, of their clients, the ones that could were escaping to mountain, beach and more remote locations to live this out and using the opportunity to remodel both homes. Designers and architects, you know this… You have been busy ever since. Part of this new professional reality meant that embracing the new technology like Zoom, Slack, Base Camp, Microsoft Office and Google Drive was now a mandatory part of their jobs. This also meant that they would be required to design from a distance. That is something that represents the most revolutionary element for the design trade.

Even when history has been overlooked, ignored, or suppressed, that doesn't mean it's hidden. Researching and writing her novels, Kaitlyn Greenidge--author of Libertie and We Love You, Charlie Freeman--“approach[es] Black history from a place of abundance, from the idea that Black people have always been multifaceted, have always been fighting for freedom, and have always been coming up with ingenious ways to combat the world around us.” This week on Book Dreams, Kaitlyn discusses with Eve and Julie how society has emphasized exceptionalism in Black history to the detriment of Black people. She searches in unexpected places for evidence of the inner lives of the unexceptional, like Black spirituals. She also examines the difference between Black artists being forgotten and choosing not to be found. Kaitlyn Greenidge is the recipient of fellowships from The Whiting Foundation, The National Endowment for the Arts, The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies, The Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University, and The Guggenheim Foundation. She's currently the Features Director at Harper's Bazaar as well as a contributing writer for The New York Times. Her writing has also appeared in Vogue, Glamour, The Wall Street Journal, Elle, Buzzfeed and The Believer, among many other places. Her debut novel, We Love You, Charlie Freeman, was one of The New York Times critic's “top 10 books of 2016.” Libertie, her second novel, was named “one of the most anticipated books of 2021” by O the Oprah Magazine, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time, The Rumpus, Book Page, Harper's Bizarre, News Magazine, and more.

The Nuestro South Loud & Proud series focuses on the Poder y Cultura that Nuestra Gente in the South can possess. From the comida que cocinamos, the music we play, and our labor which plants, cleans, and builds-- Nuestra Gente has grown deep roots in the south.In this episode- Why did Latinos in Texas pack their bags and move to Georgia in the 1980's and 1990's? How did new immigrant communities navigate a space donde no habia ni chiles, ni tortillas? How did "Mustache Mike's" come to be known as "El Mustacho" and what is the significance of a second generation Chicano Atlanta rapper?Unlike most traditional Latin American immigrant destination cities and states, the journey into the south can involve a larger need to build your own sense of home and community. For the early Latinx immigrants arriving in cities like Atlanta, finding food and entertainment was a necessary plight to feel comfortable. Future generations, those who arrived as children or those born in the south, now push for a greater sense of belonging and ownership of the place they call home through their Poder y Cultura.Yami Rodriguez is a historian of Latinx communities whose interdisciplinary research engages questions of race, ethnicity, labor, and migration. With a regional focus on the U.S. South, Rodriguez’s scholarship examines Latinx political, economic, and cultural place-making practices in the twentieth and twenty first centuries. Her current book project, “Mexican Atlanta: Migrant Place-Making in the Latinx South,” traces the history of Metro Atlanta’s ethnic Mexican community formation with attention to the region’s longer Latinx histories beginning in the mid-twentieth century. She is currently a post-doc at Emory University.To learn more, check out:https://nuestrosouth.org/Subscribe to this channel for new podcast episodes oniTunesSpotifyGoogle PodcastsFollow us:Instagram: http://instagram.com/nuestrosouthTwitter: https://twitter.com/nuestrosouthFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NuestroSouth/The Nuestro South Loud & Proud Interview Series is produced by Axel Herrera, Julie Weise, and Erik Valera with generous sponsorship from the Whiting Foundation, the University of Oregon College of Arts and Sciences, and LatinxEd.

From the comida que cocinamos, the music we play, and our labor which plants, cleans, and builds-- Nuestra Gente has grown deep roots in the south.Part 2 of "Las Polleras de Mississippi" takes a deeper dive into the history and context of these polleras through the research and work of professor Angela Stuesse.In this episode- The history and economy of the South is profoundly defined by the labor structures and hierarchies. There is a through-line from slavery, to sharecropping, and more modern low wage work settings that exploit those most vulnerable for their labor. Immigrants and their labor are used to prop up industries which benefit from the lack of worker protections. Many of these southern regions have historically suppressed labor organizing and unions. The chicken plant or “Las Polleras” embody much of this history ever since Jim Crow segregation until the present. Las Polleras are some of the largest immigrant minority employers in rural southern towns whose economies largely revolve around the poultry industry. Angela Stuesse is an associate professor of anthropology and global studies at UNC Chapel Hill. She spent the last 20+ years doing activist research alongside Latinx Immigrant communities in the south. She is the author of Scratching Out a Living: Latinos, Race, and Work in the deep South. She continues to write and advocate for workers that are increasingly vulnerable in the times of heightened immigration enforcement and health and safety within a pandemic.To learn more, check out:https://nuestrosouth.org/Subscribe to this channel for new podcast episodes oniTunesSpotifyGoogle PodcastsFollow us:Instagram: http://instagram.com/nuestrosouthTwitter: https://twitter.com/nuestrosouthFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NuestroSouth/The Nuestro South Loud & Proud Interview Series is produced by Axel Herrera, Julie Weise, and Erik Valera with generous sponsorship from the Whiting Foundation, the University of Oregon College of Arts and Sciences, and LatinxEd.

From the comida que cocinamos, the music we play, and our labor which plants, cleans, and builds-- Nuestra Gente has grown deep roots in the south.In this episode- What does it mean to be Half-Hillbilly and Half-Mexican? How do Latinx families come to settle in the Appalachian regions? How does our music and culture express a new vision for our communities future?Like the broader US South, Appalachia is a vast region filled with its own history and nuances but it is still largely stereotyped as a particularly white space . The truth and history is much more nuanced, and just like in the deep South, Nuestra Gente has roots all across Appalachia  and  has enriched the region with their food, language, music, and culture. Tune in to discover the cultural bridges being formed through the Mexilachian music of the Lua Project, and the activist sounds of the Latingrass group Che Apalache as Sophia Enriquez walks us through her own family's journey and the significance of our music in the Appalachian-Latinx experience. Sophia is a scholar, teacher, and musician from Appalachian Ohio. She is a PhD candidate in ethnomusicology at Ohio State University. Her dissertation titled “Canciones de Las Apalaches: Latinx Music, Migration, and Belonging in Appalachia” sheds light on the long-standing contributions of Latinx people to Appalachian music. Sophia plays Appalachian and Mexican music styles—such as ranchera and bluegrass—and performs with the folk trio the  “Good Time Girls” in Columbus, Ohio. To learn more, check out:https://nuestrosouth.org/Subscribe to this channel for new podcast episodes oniTunesSpotifyGoogle PodcastsFollow us:Instagram: http://instagram.com/nuestrosouthTwitter: https://twitter.com/nuestrosouthFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NuestroSouth/The Nuestro South Loud & Proud Interview Series is produced by Axel Herrera, Julie Weise, and Erik Valera with generous sponsorship from the Whiting Foundation, the University of Oregon College of Arts and Sciences, and LatinxEd.

How do racial dynamics impact the workplace for immigrants? Do Latinos have a Southern accent?
