How do we envision and shape a world without oppressive systems?
In this episode entitled Cultures Of Care Amisha talks with Patrisse Cullors, an Artist and Abolitionist born and raised in Los Angeles. Cullors has been on the frontline of abolitionist organising for 22 years. She has advanced a term called abolitionist aesthetics. Her latest work is examining an art practice that leads through west African spirituality as well as pushing the culture to adopt abolitionist beliefs in order to build our imagination towards a world we all deserve.
We explore:
:: abolition, a practice that helps us envision a world without oppressive systems and practices, such as policing and imprisonment
:: Art and imagination as tools to shaping a new world and tapping into our spiritual and creative potential
:: resourcing ourselves through therapy, community, and self-care as essential for sustaining activism and navigating challenging times
:: Patrisse latest artwork embracing Yoruba IFA traditions respecting Earth and each other as a path towards healing & transformation
:: the balance between accessibility and appreciation in the digital age and the power of collective experience
