It Ain't New

Art as Resistance


Listen Later

Hello dear listener!


We are so excited to bring you our third episode - the first in a series of three! - where we discuss how we protest for social change.

This week, Nyke educates us on how art has historically been used as a medium for protest.

We have broken out the artists that are brought up in today's episode, and we hope that this will help you on your journey with learning more about each of these artists and their works.

  • Beyoncé - ⁠Lemonade Grammy Speech⁠

    • ⁠Phyllis Wheatley⁠ - a famous poet from the 1700s who was taught by her masters how to read and write

      • Harlem Renaissance:

        • ⁠Zora Neale Hurston ⁠

          • wrote about being Black and Female and what that meant living in the USA during the early 1900s

          • Also wrote to Black newspapers about US foreign policy in Asia

          • Pan-African + Pan-Asian conferences during the mid-1900s

            • ⁠Black Grace⁠ - Maori Dance Troupe from New Zealand

            • Next week’s episode discusses how a specific piece of art can foster a sense of urgency to learn and educate ourselves about our history. We look forward to sharing more with you all then!
