In the first part of the program, Nikki Morse, Noam Brown and Prince Jooveh talk about the album Bending the Bars, a project created via makeshift jail phone setups in order to uplift and amplify the voices of incarcerated musicians. Our guests discuss the myriad powers of music, from therapy to frontline reporting to bridges between rival gangs and political perspectives. They dive into the barriers and indeed the freedom in creating an album without the support or collaboration of the carceral system, and how their work can be, and indeed should be repeated by others across the prison industrial complex. Next up, journalist and organizer Jen Deerinwater joins the show again, this time to talk about indigiqueer identities, how colonization violently imposed the binary, missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, two spirits and relatives, and how this violence is inextricably linked to ecocide. Jen also uplifts the upcoming decolonized beatz, Indigenous world pride, a global event celebrating the powerful creativity of 2SLGBTQIA+ Indigenous artists, performers, and storytellers coming up in late may in Washington DC.
