"WE WANT YOUR BLOOD" reads a now-infamous post opening expressions of interest for First Nations people to donate blood to an 'artwork' showing at Dark Mofo 2021, by white Spanish artist Santiago Sierra. This week, only after an outpouring of disgust and anger led by First Nations communities was the work begrudgingly cancelled by the Tasmanian arts festival (of course, after the knee-jerk doubling down we've come to expect). We unpack the whole sitch with Wiradjuri artist and poet Jazz Money, talking about the First Nations response and solidarity, the ethics of art, and what work the industry has to do to enact meaningful change.

Plus, on March 16 in Atlanta, Georgia, eight people – six of whom were Asian-American women – were shot and killed when a man opened fire at three separate spas. We speak to writer May Jeong, whose recent article for the New York Times situates this horrific shooting within a broader history of anti-Asian sentiment in the States, and intersects directly with misogyny and classism.
