Welcome to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary andanalysis from a Black Left perspective. I’m Margaret Kimberley, along with my co-hostGlen Ford. Coming up: Performance art used to be a sideshow of movements for socialchange, but nowadays art has become central to political organizing. We’ll explore theartistic side of mass mobilizing. And, the George Floyd protests of last summer, whentens of millions of people marched under the Black Lives Matter banner, have hadprofound and sometimes strange effects on the ruling class and the institutions thatkeep the rich in power. Now, even the CIA claims to be a benign, multi-cultural force forgood in the world.
But first – the Black Lives Matter movement has been enormously reinforced byactivists from the widest range of ethnic and racial backgrounds. But how canorganizers keep this multi-ethnic, multi-cultural army on the march for social change?Kovie Biakolo is a widely published writer, editor, and scholar specializing in culture andidentity. We asked Biokolo what needs to be done to keep a mullti-cultural army on themove.
That was writer and scholar Kovie Biokolo, speaking from New York City.
Performance art is an important part of modern political organizing. Troizel Carr is adoctoral candidate in performance studies at New York University, and holds a teachingfellowship at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York City. We asked Carrabout the role art plays in abolitionist organizing since the murder of George Floyd.
That was Troizel Carr, a doctoral candidate specializing in performancestudies.
The CIA – the guys that specialize in political assassination, overthrowing governmentsthe US doesn’t like, and lying to the public about EVERYTHING – is now trying topackage itself as a politically benign institution, staffed by “woke”young Black and Latinointelligence agents. But anti-imperial activist Ramiro Sebastion Funez is using hispodcasting skills to strip away the CIA’s new camouflage. Funez calls it “UnmaskingImperialism.” He interviewed Erica Caines, of the Black Alliance for Peace, who saidJoe Biden is also trying to act like he’s always been a friend of Black and brown folks.
