#201 Palestine Is The Litmus Test
<p>'There are two issues of our time really, that I think amount to a litmus test for morality as far as I'm concerned. One is what you're prepared to do on behalf of the Palestinian people and the other is what are you prepared to do on behalf of gay and lesbian people?"</p> <p>- Black, queer poet and activist June Jordan in an interview for 'A Place of Rage' (1991) by Prabhita Parmar</p> <p>What are people willing to do for the Palestinian cause?

#200 Mothering Thru Fascism
<p>This episode is a love letter to everyone mothering on stolen land, in displaced bodies, in the precarity of modernity. It is a reminder that queer and Indigenous ways of childrearing and matrilineal care are often similar practices. One and a half years into raising a child and a lifetime into raising themselves in community, executive producer Prinita Thevarajah collages conversations with Vanessa Marian Varghese, Midori Mukai and Ella Noah Bancroft to reveal the ultimate truth: that the violence of modernity world was built off womb envy, and that carework is crucial to survive fascism.</p> <p>Vanessa Marian Varghese is a writer, movement director and community builder exploring movement, identity and contemporary culture through film, live performance and immersive experiences</p> <p>Midori Mukai is a Tkaronto/Toronto based artist and arts facilitator — her creative practice explores ceramics and fine craft. Informed by ancestry, her work highlights traditional approaches off-centre from the Western lens<br><br>Ella Noah Bancroft is a descendent of the peoples of the Bundjalung nation and has bloodlines to England, Poland and Scotland. Australian born artist, storyteller, mentor and founder of “The Returning”. Ella Noah Bancroft is a pioneer for The Decolonisation movement. Through her writing and work Ella has been promoting re-wilding, the rise of the female energy, as way back to deep relationship nature and decolonizing of personal, social and ecological well-being for 10 years.She is widely respected amongst her community and believes in local communities with local economies as a way to find hope for the health of our planet and people.</p> <p>For more on The Returning visit: <a href="https://www.thereturning.com.au/">https://www.thereturning.com.au/</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
