Artists Against Apartheid: A Conversation With Savannah Imani Wade

(RECORDED ON NOVEMBER 21, 2024)  As long as injustice exists, there is always a need for artists to respond.  On this episode we speak with Savannah Imani Wade, a member of the Baltimore chapter of Artists Against Apartheid, a collective who's objective is to "commit to using our platforms to challenge at every turn the massive misinformation campaigns waged by those who have a vested interest in the destruction of the Palestinian land and people without fear of repercussions. We dedicate ourselves to standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people and to use our artistic and cultural practices as tools of liberation in the struggle for sovereignty, dignity, and self-determination."

Savannah and jamilah talk about the importance of art collectives in telling the stories of globally oppressed peoples, the importance of not parting with family members due to ideological or political differences, the healing power of music,  the gift of sharing grief, and more!
