EPISODE 1

ACAM's inaugural episode of Flow of Thoughts is written and hosted by ACAM alumni Jackie Sarvini. 

Created out of her experience processing emotions surrounding the global pandemic, Jackie returns to the music of her youth. In this return, she comes across the album SAWAYAMA by British-Japanese artist Rina Sawayama, an artpop extravaganza of colliding identity crises and reconciliations amidst a sonic palette of early 2000s pop music. What follows is Jackie’s exploration within her own relationship to Rina Sawayama and the ever shifting landscape of racialization in pop music. A talk that is equal parts memoir, equal parts cultural analysis, ACAM is proud to present Jackie’s work as the first episode of the ACAM Podcast.
