This week on Feminist Magazine with hosts Lynn Harris Ballen & Kiyana Williams :: FIRST … This Pride month, Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter/musician, Sophie B. Hawkins joins Sheri Lunn to talk about her fight for artistic integrity, the lack of support from her record label surrounding both her Grammy nomination and her sexual orientation, and shares a twist on a long held story about her nude photos published in Interview Magazine. Sophie flips the script on how men are not always the antagonists in borderline #metoo scenarios.
THEN … We talk to Sarah Williams, Managing Director of the Women’s Center for Creative Work, and artist Yasmine Diaz about her summer residency at WCCW. Exit Strategies – Yasmine’s installation room – recreates the basement bedroom she had as a teen in Chicago — a place of refuge and privacy and a space that also represents a period when she struggled with the expectations of her religiously and socially conservative Yemeni-Muslim family. And we hear how the residency creates a space for dialogue amongst women of marginalized communities who have been discouraged from speaking out against patriarchal oppression
AND … Cherise Charleswell talks to author, director, and playwright, Dr. Sikivu Hutchinson, about her sci-fi play – Narcolepsy, currently onstage at the 2018 Hollywood Fringe Festival. The play takes us to a theocratic state where sleep and dreams are policed and manufactured by the multinational, Narcolepsy, Inc. and the ‘Dreammaker’ or Chief scientist – a queer Black woman – is under house arrest for selling company secrets.
All this on Tuesday at 2, on KPFK. What Feminism Can Sound Like.
