Re-membering Ourselves Home through Breath and Voice

  • Summary

  • This episode explores the work of Taína Asili, her album Resiliencia, and the many voices that inspired her work in this album. As we understand notions of belonging, we explore Puerto Rican heritage, alternative voices of punk culture, language of re-membering, and the work of dismantling frameworks of scarcity to find deeper forms of belonging to the land and each other. Exploring the work of Sophia Smart, Leah Penniman, Sonia Renae Taylor, and others, we look at the role of the arts and an expansive sense of self in reclaiming our "own divine enoughness" (Renae Taylor). Taína Asili is a Puerto Rican activist/musician who weaves a fusion of musical styles and roles the explore liberation themes from her work in racial, gender, and climate justice movements. Her newest album, Resiliencia and the accompanying documentary series is a profound exploration of the stories of women of color from the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico about their stories of resilience.
