“We need poets now more than ever. We need people to keep records and to dream and to ramble and make trouble and be disruptive. We need that the same way we need water. [...] We need joy, right, poetry produces joy too, we need all that.” - jamal rashad on #AudioEvidence vol. VI

“That is where I see the most importance because these are voices that have been silenced or misrepresented historically. These are voices that can see, right, that are given a different sight because of their positioning within the society” #AudioEvidence Volume VI now streaming

Something I appreciate about queer literature & about black literature is the insight that that existence in the margins gives the writer. The way that the eye is sharpened to the hypocrisies of the society based on the fact that they have been excluded from privilege. @flowrriot

“I do think that you’ll find black people in America, as they strive to throw off the shackles of mental colonialism will also probably reflect an effort to throw off the shackles of cultural colonialism & they may begin to reflect desires of their own w/ standards of their own.”

“How do I gain some type of populace audience appeal to get people into my museum and at the same time satisfy the necessary elitism that defines good art? [...] This dichotomy between high art and low art, this questioning.” -Chiori Santiago on Volume IV of #AudioEvidence 🔊 👂🏽

I think part of the problem that these artists face is that they’ve been restricted by traditional categories, what do you do with this work? It seems to me that at this point museums are forced to try to come to terms with what is high / what is low?
