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??

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?

We are back with the second installment of "Tried The "Villain Era" Again And Failed ! 

This week, Jita and Safara dive deeper into the implications of coopted aesthetics and white performance, as well as speculate what this capitalism machine requires of us who belong to the culture holders who insist on their stories being told from their own mouths, and their own movements.

What constitutes a villain? What makes a hero? 

Join us this week as we set out to investigate just what the hell is a “villain era” and why on earth is it never afforded to folks who look like us ?? This is part one of this villainous inquiry so stay tuned for the forthcoming part. 2 for the continued discourse.

We are your hosts, Safara and Lagnajita, welcome to the very first episode of A Place to Scream Podcast !! 

Join us as we discuss the founding principles of A Place to Scream and what we envision for the future of this virtual space, also the origin stories on how we met and how the development of our friendship led us to become creative partners. 

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.

Music used in intro: 'Nostalgia' by Mulatu Astatke + 'Sufjan Naiya' by Amat Paul
