FM April 23: Afrofuturism / Lorraine Hansberry

THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Valecia Phillips ::

FIRST – we feature a segment from Making Contact and scholar Ytasha Womack’s presentation at the 2017 Sonic Acts Festival called Afrofuturism: Imagination and Humanity. She explores resilience by using the imagination, tensions that arise from embracing hope, the separation of humanity from itself through the race construct, and the power of storytelling.

THEN – we bring you KPFA Women’s Magazine’s interview with scholar and author Imani Perry about her book “Looking for Lorraine: The Radiant and Radical Life of Lorraine Hansberry”, which makes use of recently released papers that fill in much of what’s been hidden about Hansberry’s life.

Feminist Magazine on KPFK 90.7 FM. Tuesday at 2P.
