5:38 pm
they just went crazy like everybody was like, oh, that's hot. that's hot. it was. it was a very like diverse group of young people and it just took off from there, meant for the time, jake mayberry, he, he heard about my performance and he came and met with me after class, and he said, i want you to come to our post club on thursday, and so when i went to the post club i perform the st. paul. he was like congratulations on the baltimore city for lou and a year ago. and he was telling me that you need to join this team. do you need to sign up? you have what it takes and i was like not, i don't think i have what it takes. so as soon as we left the room, i ran to the bathroom. now course if you want to you for when my niece grows up with too much backbone for men to kneel before her, stan and a tongue as sharp as buyer. and she asked me and see what do you do with skin that screamed terror?
5:39 pm
i will tell her, right, because i know be well too ignorant to tell you not to sister. you are soldier safe in the melanin in your skin for ink. so join your truth, but know that they will come for you even when you're so broke to buy a sped, to send for them and their privilege will try to take all the letters up your page to write their legacy. and once there's no more inc, their privilege, we'll say, well, i don't see color. so as a guide to made you of ink for when you are broken. ringback and bloody from them you can read right? sure. legacy by tenderly caressing your skin because now there's an angel in you and god sends you a book that rhyme so that you could define the divine in you name one of our prophets. who wasn't a poet whose tone was more of sons to shine for you? and she will ask me, what kind of poetry does your skin love to recite? and i will tell her an insur writing poems that breathe like survivors for writers
5:40 pm
never die. we make heartbeats out of syllables and then eternity out of semi collins. for when my niece grows up with too much backbone for men to kneel before her stead and her tongue as sharp as fire. and she asked me and see, what do you do with skin that screamed terror? i will tell her, let it be heard for your skin. is the most supreme spoken word? the words of a said yeah, but share our community is responding. i mean has says the 2 things that always puts an emphasis on our speaking your truth, think you just heard or do that and not ending your poems in victim behead with her help. i've been able to take and bring a level of rawness and poetry to empower to my poetry, which didn't exist before. and another person writes in that she's had the pleasure of watching city a perform and says that she loves it. because for me,
5:41 pm
it was the 1st time as a black muslim that i saw part of myself reflected in poetry. i me to did you feel that you have an extra responsibility that the gentleman on either side if you don't have you all representing it then you are representing here. yeah, yes, definitely. yeah. i feel like it's just kind of like you already have a responsibility as a black person, you already have a responsibility as a muslim. and then i'm a woman who's like, i have that responsibility as well. this isn't to take away from the fact that, you know, they had their own intersections but yeah, i feel like i have a responsibility to to represent all of my voices. i found god. 1 in a beam pie, i think coffee's place a top, the heads of felons who smiles could swallow the mississippi. a witness,
5:42 pm
the crackling morse code of test be done before life ref. why do our incinerator a suicide note? the a slam on no term mel. but the dope fiend to marry him the philosopher malcolm the animal. to chavez. ships set sail and the name of isa jesus. hey, zeus prophetic nouns inscribed on the broadside of vessels, blessed by the highest councils and the land human call. go aboard it to the land, to turn souls and to profit with the lab in the face. children of mohammed in its belly, back and forth on the atlantic fro a mother raising her shackled hands to the heavens. so beg a law delivered his name until the famous mouths of her family, fallen once again into chains, and we proclaim their shadow in the same position distant mother. i hope you'll see
5:43 pm
that the dawn is the 8 away drum still shaking us to the atom that su jude has dignified our pastor. yet again, know that a 3rd of those nations children of black like you bold like you wriggle like you. that kinked hair falls in the spines of crowns and valleys and mountain tops. we have never had a home here, but lord knows we can turn a banjo into paradise. lord knows we can turn them into la la. hey la la. yet down payment. just enough for us to buy our mo, lana's, religion and cold cash. you should see we've made space here, bothers arabic, gorgeously broken over a southern twang. saw a nest under a northern b bob care shake the jazz out a step. can't pill the boom bat off our lips for us? this is always been about burning masses house to the ground and dancing in the ashes. a stadium full of our ancestors looking on this theology has always been
5:44 pm
about a soul. this of justice, our parade of freedom marching through the soul of return home. so one day, the giver of light seized, the light on our faces, sees us for our faces and welcomes us back beyond the veil. so flora says, how do we move black? must some poets out of the nice category and have it seen as a fully muslim or a slab make a poetic form of expression. and i would also say mainstream, then how do you make this mainstream? do you think there is a way or does it need to be tart? i think our responsibility is poets and definitely with these 2 phenomenal people next or us or to. so for our say there are my job is to continue writing and on the people who produced the shows ah, we'll work with them to see if we can get platform more. but our job is to write and convey as authentically as possible. and thus, i should be our focus as far as
5:45 pm
a niche category on our slam is also rooted in expressing our experiences in coming to a slam and being muslim and all of that. and all those things are intertwined. ah, my mother, she became muslim. bol ah, becoming a part of you know, back over racial movement and things like that and being, i'm interested in deeply involved and trying to find herself in a society that didn't wanna. and then she became muslim because that was the answer for her. so they can't be detach it for me, it isn't particularly a niche so that you can catch up with the latest from tac via twitter at cherokee to re sadie, i can be found at either be well in bass at idabel well in and mohammed her to handle it at fresh cut mo, back in 2015 students at the university of cape town campaign to have a statue of the controversial politicians settle, roads brought down the roads,
5:46 pm
must full protest was so successful. they energized the global discussion about how to de colonize education. some of the students who were involved in the original protest dramatized that story in a theater production chord. the fall, it was a hit in south africa and everywhere it taught. when the cast visiting the stream, we talked about the play and how they became student activists hours on the drama campus obesity. so we were very separate from the main body of the campus. and i remember there was talk of some one who had thrown pooh on the statue. and we were very interested in knowing what was happening. and i looked on my phone and i saw on twitter and on facebook videos of the sky and all these people standing around the statue. and for some reason, i was with a few of my friends who are in the play as well. and we felt drawn to the situation we, there was a, a rush of adrenalin, where we felt this is the moment that we have been waiting for. and we abandoned
5:47 pm
classes and i, we went to the bremner building where there was a meeting held. and that's where everything started with people said, okay, well, if you're not going to tell us when the status going down, then we're gonna occupy this building. yeah. and this is the settle road statue which is on the, on the campus of the university of kate town. and it was a bucket of pu, that was thrown at cecil rhodes statue and a mirror for you. this was an education process to work out. what did this, can i done? the mains. psalm universal kate down student. so furious about his presence there. yeah. and for a lot of students, i think we weren't really aware of what the legacy of cecil john rhodes actually was because it's not really something that you get taught about at high school level. so any of you actually pursue history into university, maybe 2nd or even 30, or do you really start learning about the actual rot of colonialism as the tweeter had said, um, so for me, it was, you know, okay, people are really reacting to this statue to this moment,
5:48 pm
why don't i know about this? what can i do to seek out this knowledge? and really the only place that you could get the information was the movement. and it was amazing to be part of that moment where it was and only as a lot of people thought it was just this, like angry bunch of students occupying buildings knocking down things, you know, being annoying to the staff members. there were also phone screenings that were hauled there were lectures with the black academics that were howled. there was information that was passed around to people. and it was, it was really like a separate university to the university, which was amazing. says well, what was it about this moment? why? why 2015. why not the $80000.00? why not last year? what was it about that particular tie? ha, i think it was time. i think, you know, the stars aligned and 2015 was lydia. and unfortunately to, to be part of that group of 2015 because it was such a,
5:49 pm
a big symbol that the actual removing removing of the statute such a big symbol that, you know, we had that part to move the statue. so you have to 2015 as the year, you know, i don't know why it was 2050 right, but it's, it's 2015 and that's when you know our lives changed. this movement belongs to all of us. it belongs to a whole lot of groups involved with transformation at the university like the trans collective. i'm not binary. i mean that in bees or black monday, the black academics caucus, the workers' union. there's our see, i'm in that to when our comrade kamani through human excrement on the statue of rhodes. he was at a loss for words about how crap it is for university students at this university. in fact, throwing some poor, the statue was
5:50 pm
a 100 percent articulate. it's amazing really how so many people got let about some qu on a statue, but some very hard work was going on around transformation. long before he did that i, we need to talk about the statue and a dive. i'm a little confused. doesn't management want their stature to be taken down? i mean, and they just following due process, the processing here, my sister, we all know the history of all his debts on our campus. plumber tells us that men never wanted us here. yeah, no sir. soul, john rhodes. i learnt about him in my 2nd year african history course. it was then that i realized that the history we were learning was not the history of africa, but rather that history of how britain and the western powers stole africa and
5:51 pm
covenant up into little countries. with people like livingston, leopold and rhodes featuring as heroes. you see? rhodes didn't only wrap up the kimberly diamond mines for himself or a couple of his buddies. thank you very much. he was an arc imperialist who believed the 100 percent in the superior of the english race. you know, all i learned about africans was how weak we were. we in weaponry traveling clothing, how we had to be civilized by the great christian nations. i mean, what kind of histories that, and they say he donated this land to the university, but whose land was it to begin with? the story of being black and writing history is not complete without addressing the most marginalized in society. you know, people like black people or women and then the struggle goes on to korea bodies, not binary kid is like we saw one of the non finer kiddos in this kid that people just for now walking out. are people, whoa, whoa, who have disabilities?
5:52 pm
our image is not complete until all those people are, was empowered, feel like they can participate and can contribute into the movement. you know, as we, we have the privilege of taking the show internationally right now, but we definitely weren't like the architects of the 4 of the. busy the movement, but it's, it's a great thing that a movement in south africa was able to influence so many other universities. i remember in the shack down happened, and we also had a lot of universities supporting as shutting down their universities because their supporting for african universities in shutting down. so it's incredible. also, the use of social media has helped the movement. so incredibly much it's connected . so many voices that are going through so many similar things across the world and across campuses for us to be like, oh so we're not the only,
5:53 pm
it's not crazy to feel the way that we feel. and we're not the only people feeling this. so it's a great feeling to know that people that are in these educational these institutions are not there to just absorb information. it's like no, we're done with that. we are here to change a narrative. we're here to make sure that when we have children and they go into these institutions, they're not necessarily going through the same problems that we're going through, that they're there to learn because oppression and all types of forms, it disturbs you. it takes away so much of your time, so much of your heart. so much of your energy, you know, in areas where you could be grown as a person. that is like stunted because you're constantly having to validate yourself in situations where you really shouldn't have to, especially considering the fact that we're in africa. you know what i'm trying to say local where the majority we are in africa at the bottom of africa. but yet a lot of the times it doesn't feel like that,
5:54 pm
and i was just going to refer to something that goes said about cape town. cave down is, it's a beautiful city to look at us there typically. but it's very problematic, and i'm not surprised at the fact that the university of cape town because it's firstly, it's very hard to get into that university. and it's very diverse, which is a beautiful thing. but there's not enough of presentation and it's in cape town. and it just shows the type of environment that you know, we live in and yeah, i'm just glad that it's been able to influence other universities and then that name has stuck because a lot of things need to fall. a cast and creators of the for chatting to me, amicable out back in 2018. and we had to split the conversations into 2 episodes. so we had enough space at the desk to speak to all 7 performers, but they would definitely worth the effort. finally, the potent impact of political fietta, the plate shane 2 point oh,
5:55 pm
explores the challenges of being an activist, an artist. in israel. it tells the true stories of his wally playwright, a net wiseman and palestinian actor moran hassan. in this experts formed the production calling delaney plays the role of a net, and then the real a net joys the stream from television. sometimes it's the little decisions that make all the difference. that sunny morning in 2006, i chose a t shirt from my closet. it was a political statement, of course, but it was also a rather naive one. what started out as a torrent of abuse from members of the internet public went on to push us to perform this little play shame which led to others. what i didn't know then was that these voices of public abuse weren't merely fringe voices. but would go on to become the voice of the mainstream that my plays would be heatedly debated in
5:56 pm
parliament that the government would push for laws to try and stop me as a friend to terrorists. and so my personal transformation from t shirt wearer to playwright is also the story of the radical descent of my country . while despairing, the worsening and critical situation in garza and in all other parts of palestine for israeli artists from my country that i love. there is also a little hope that art even if stumbled upon by hazard or chance can make a difference. i should something i know at your facebook page in that quote is on your facebook page on a poster here. there's also a little hope that art even is stumbled upon by has it or chance can make
5:57 pm
a difference. what difference is your art and morale, art making? and i think the most in a good example for what is the importance of us, is it, is that a loyalty law that a the minister of culture was trying to pass in the israeli parliament? a law of the m. m. a. every artist should be loyal to the states and a and if not, a funds will be taken from him. so i think this law that them, that me, that i gave was trying so hard to pass. it is like testifying to the importance of art because if and there is a needs to
5:58 pm
a whole government and pass a new law in order to, to fight against the play, white or poet, or a philistine in institution. that means that power in the art indeed has a power, and i think that they struggle here is about narratives and about perception. and i think that art has its role. it together with history was the media and it was politics and norm. so yes, so i believe in art that wraps up i show for today. thanks for watching. phoenix, lou. charged with crimes against humanity. 4000 counts of torture and 58 cases of murder, rape,
