In this episode, host Madam Neverstop engages in a deep conversation with Blacqwildflowr, an award-winning poet and performance etiquette instructor. Blacqwildflowr recently traveled from the US to Denmark to participate in the Nature & Culture: International Poetry Film Festival, where she joined us with her poem in the film Vibrant, directed by Dev Thompson.
In Vibrant, Blacqwildflowr's performance intertwines personal and collective narratives, addressing themes of grief, Black boyhood, queerness, and the complexity of identity within a society that marginalizes softness and vulnerability. She reflects on her process of writing and performing the poem, as well as the significance of watching the film live for the first time, struck by the resilience and strength we embody through adversity and pain.
Throughout the conversation, Blacqwildflowr discusses the challenges of navigating life as a Black, queer woman in the United States, and how embracing her identity and using her voice have become acts of resistance and empowerment. Her work, both written and performed, continues to inspire others to confront societal injustices while embracing their authentic selves.

One plus Five plus Four
New episode of Red Transmissions Podcast: an illuminating conversation with Dev Thompson, a two-time award-winning director, sound mixer, and producer from Cincinnati, Ohio.
Dev’s work weaves together personal experience, resilience, and the healing power of storytelling. His short film Brown Boy (2024) received the Founder’s Award at the Cindependent Film Festival, and his collaborative project 1+5+4 (2025) earned Best Poetry Film at the Queercine International Film Festival in Ghent. As a sound mixer, his credits include In Pursuit of Favor (2023), a documentary on Georgian winemakers showcased at the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival.
In this episode, Dev reflects on filmmaking as an act of courage and self-discovery—on the choices that shape a creative life, the strength found in vulnerability, and the radical possibility of being a gentle man in a world that demands hardness. He invites us to consider what it means to exist without expectations, to create from honesty, and to move through art as a form of healing.
