    S1 E9 Nona Faustine reads Pamela Sneed

    Artist Nona Faustine reads the first part of Pamela Sneed’s Kong, published in 2009, and read by Faustine in Brooklyn, New York, 2016. Nona Faustine is an American photographer and visual artist. Since 2014, Nona Faustine has been a media sensation. The photographs of her body taken at former slave sites of New York City undermine the dominant narrative of the city’s white-washed history.

    S1 E8 Pamela Sneed: The Poet Stands Up

    Patricia Silva talks with Pamela Sneed, an American poet, performance artist, actress, activist, and teacher. When i first read Pamela Sneed’s Imagine Being More Afraid of Freedom Than Slavery, my mind was still reeling from the graphic imagery of the Rodney King beating by police. Years later, Pamela published Kong, and by the time of our interview in 2016, America is again facing the consequences of its embedded racism. Racism is not just an exclusive US problem, but the relationship to racism here is very specific. Swirling in the media imagery at the time of our interview in July, was a story about a 4-year-old who fell into a gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo, and whose parents were inevitably met with racist comments. Once again the image of a black or brown body harks back to an othering shaped by the public dialogue of another era: that of an undomesticated animal. I spoke with Pamela about these two books, her trips to Western Africa in the 90s, June Jordan, Audre Lorde, and other influential artists and moments that shaped Pamela’s foundation as poet and performer.

    S1 E7 Margrit Shildrick: Difference and Danger

    Sofia Varino talks with Margrit Shildrick in June of 2015 during a conference on posthumanism at the University of Geneva. Shildrick was giving a keynote on immune-politics and Sofia was presenting on environmental justice. Shildrick is professor of gender and knowledge production at Linköping University in Sweden and a key theorist of disability. Shildrick’s work on feminist posthuman ethics and embodied difference has been crucial to Sofia’s own research on bodies and illness. Shildrick is the author of several books including Dangerous Discourses of Disability, Subjectivity and Sexuality, and of many articles in the fields of medicine and philosophy. It was an honor and a pleasure to speak with her about her thought and activism while we sat on a bench in the Parc des Bastions in Geneva during a hot summer afternoon to discuss the role of radical politics and poststructuralist thought in her practice as a philosopher of the body.

    S1 E6 Buzz Slutzky: New Uniforms

    Patricia Silva talks with Buzz Slutzsky, an American artist, writer, and curator who is really, really funny. Buzz’s videos contain a kind of humor that is enjoyed all the more because it’s never an irresponsible jab. Even when Buzz makes fun of themself, it’s playful. I first saw Buzz’s work at the Mix NYC Experimental film festival: "Religious Beliebs," a video about a pop-culture savvy Anne Frank being obsessed with Justin Bieber, much like any other contemporary teenager. This reimagining of Anne Frank’s adolescent was tender, insightful, and enjoyable. A year later, after an exhibition at the Los Ojos gallery in Brooklyn, I saw another video, "Clothes Feelings," about the role that our clothes have in how we shape our self-esteem and self-perceptions. In October of 2016, we had this conversation in Buzz’s studio.

    S1 E5 Jack Halberstam: Lessons in Disruption

    Sofia Varino talks with Jack Halberstam at the Cyborg conference at the Disruption Lab in Berlin, during which he gave a talk about the politics and ethics of human enhancement technologies. Halberstam is professor of American Studies and Ethnicity, Gender Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Southern California and one of the most influential queer theorists today. He is the author of works like Female Masculinity, The Queer Art of Failure and Gaga Feminism and is working on a new project on the radical possibilities of “the wild” as a transgressive category. This conversation took place in the lobby of the Bethanien Kunstraum, one of Berlin’s main exhibition spaces for contemporary art, and the imposing architecture and transience of the space helped shape our conversation.
