A Place to Scream

A Place to Scream

A Place to Scream is not a place but a chasm. A scream can be a shout into the void or a protest song—a cry, a catharsis, a celebration. Or this space can entangle itself into its own parts: a lingering in between-ness, a spell, a perfect uncertainty. A Place to Scream is interested in the collective intersections between disciplines, where rupture and disparity can morph into a grander diasporic consciousness, holding each other with urgency.

    Ep.10 However...(Comma)

    It seems that with every new micro-trend or social phenomena our society is thrust into yet another battle against "loserdom". We are told that our human response to inhuman behavior is "cringe" and that our desire to connect will eventually lead to betrayal and heartbreak. Armchair tik-tok therapist tell us to exercise boundaries and insta info-graphics break down in 5 clear steps on how to "quiet quit" our relationships because of our inability to see difference as a relational asset. What if resignation wasn't our only choice? What does it look like to engage in the courageous act of connection,  and turn away from algorithmically dictated social norms?  links!

    Ep.9 The Landslide Brought Me Down (From White Mediocrity)

    Buckle up kids, cause you're in for a ride!  Why should I accept and herald the pilfered art of a colonized people presented to me through the gaze and institutional backing of whiteness? Well, we don't! And on today's episode you're gonna hear exactly why.  It is time to deprogram from the centering of mediocre culture "creation" that does nothing but steal, co-opt or attempt to emulate the brilliance of Black & Brown art and culture. It is time to break free from white dominated media narratives about how to perceive ourselves as the global majority and champion the artists and creatives who's work continues the dialogue and heartbeat of the generations of artists who came before.

    Ep.8 THEE Black History Month Episode

    Happy Black History Month, Lunar New Year & Ramadan Mubarak !! Today's episode is one that we took great pleasure in recording and hope that the ideas and topics brought up in this discussion go beyond our microphones and your speakers.  What is your 'why'? How did you come to your belief systems? What are we doing to expand what our ancestors in liberation have laid out before us? What are we not brave enough to confront?..  It is time to decenter the spectacle that is capitalism & white settlerism and become grounded in a belief system that centers our collective future.  links: Substack  Insta

    Ep.7 2026 Ins & Outs (The Flip Side of Hope is Trust)

    New Year, Same Astrological Mayhem !! It is our first episode of 2026 and we are  reflecting on the spiritual battles endured in 2025, listing some of our 'ins and outs' for 2026 and indulging in reading  our respective astrological horoscopes (provided by Alice Sparkly Kat) for the upcoming Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse. Fascism is formulaic, but as the late Octavia Butler insists, "God is change." How can we better understand and dismantle our internalized structures of violence in order to better embrace and run forward towards revolutionary change?  Follow A Place to Scream on Insta (@place2scream) + Substack Follow Ace/ Alice Sparkly Kat on Insta (@alicesparklykat) or visit their site

    We are back for part two of The Fear Is Scary, and this time it is story time here at A Place To Scream studios! It's time to chat about gig economies and the absolute nightmare we endure as service workers in the trenches. Should there be a mandatory draft for working in the service industry? Will we ever know what truly constitutes a london fog? All of this and more on this week's episode ! instagram: @place2scream substack: SafeWord! personal grams: @safara___ @lagnajita14

    Ep. 5 The Fear Is Scary!

    Welcome to the kiki! (well, sort of)  Disoriented but holding true to our word, we are reporting live from the midst of our respective chaos of work, gigs and the ever tormenting demons, to catch up and chat about artistry following the news of the newly added ancestor, D'Angelo. We question why it seems as though the priority of legacy has evaded our current day's discourse on music and the arts. We plead, will Frank Ocean ever release another album? And dare to ask, why is the fear so scary??  Follow us on instagram: @place2scream  Subscribe to the Substack: SafeWord!

    Ep.4 Anti-Anti Social, Social Club

    Unfortunately, it is the d*mn phones! It's another day on G*d's forsaken internet. We are tired, disillusioned, and fed up. Through the lenses of class and poetic memory we share discourse on our early exposures and experiences with the internet, how our modern world exists in two distinct cultural worlds with opposing demands of being. In this episode, we ask, how do we create spaces within the tangible and digital madness that revolts against the algorithmic chaos? How do we insist on our humanness through it all?
