BEYOND THE BARS X RACE MATTERS SOLIDARITY SYNDICATE

From Gadigal to ... those on the inside, with love. 

This week we dedicate our airwaves to the trailblazing, radical output of Beyond the Bars Prison Radio, on 3CR Radio. An honor to be joined by Shiralee Hood - she's a Noongar, Kurnai, Gunditjmara comedian, broadcaster and educator. She uses her work in prison radio as an extension of her deep rooted practice of storytelling and healing, nurturing relationships with those who are incarcerated. 

We’re also going to hear excerpts from those on the inside: incarcerated first peoples who have made radio with Beyond the Bars sharing their stories, their poems, their music. We’re honored to hear them here on Race Matters and urge you to listen to the full broadcasts that we’ll link in our show notes.

Excerpts in order: 

Dwayne - Only Loves Remains (poem)

Amanda - Ashley's Poem

Amanda, Chantelle, Alishia - Language

Wayne, Cody - Learning Language

Cane - Jail Doesn't Help (rap)

Troy - Back into Culture 

the women at the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre - Ngarra Burra Ferra 

Gre - Look out for each other

Daisy - Story in a painting 

 

LISTEN TO & SUPPORT BEYOND THE BARS EVERY JULY DURING NAIDOC WEEK. The Broadcast is also archived online, and highlights on a CD available.
