“The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.”
– Toni Cade Bambara
Rhodessa Jones is this artist. On this show, we delve into her latest work When Did Your Hands Become a Weapon? and celebrate her legacy: 40 years of Cultural Odyssey and 30 years of The Medea Project. Guests in this intergenerational conversation and performance-for-radio include company members Fe Bongolan, Lisa Frias, Uzo Nwankpa and Chibueze Crouch.
*Please note that we discuss rape culture and violence against women in this #metoo moment. The sharing is often intimate. Please take exquisite care of yourself as you listen.
Original music by Lisa Frias: “Blondie and Scarface” and Idris Ackamoor of Cultural Odyssey: “Otherworldly”
