A Place to Scream Tue, 19 May 2026 03:05:13 -0400 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2433858 en-us © 2026 A Place to Scream yes a0c1bc99-3ef1-509b-96cf-d130e2838b9a A Place to Scream episodic true A Place to Scream is not a place but a chasm. A scream can be a shout into the void or a protest song—a cry, a catharsis, a celebration. Or this space can entangle itself into its own parts: a lingering in between-ness, a spell, a perfect uncertainty. A Place to Scream is interested in the collective intersections between disciplines, where rupture and disparity can morph into a grander diasporic consciousness, holding each other with urgency.

Why should I accept and herald the pilfered art of a colonized people presented to me through the gaze and institutional backing of whiteness? Well, we don't! And on today's episode you're gonna hear exactly why. 

It is time to deprogram from the centering of mediocre culture "creation" that does nothing but steal, co-opt or attempt to emulate the brilliance of Black & Brown art and culture. It is time to break free from white dominated media narratives about how to perceive ourselves as the global majority and champion the artists and creatives who's work continues the dialogue and heartbeat of the generations of artists who came before.

Today's episode is one that we took great pleasure in recording and hope that the ideas and topics brought up in this discussion go beyond our microphones and your speakers. 

What is your 'why'? How did you come to your belief systems? What are we doing to expand what our ancestors in liberation have laid out before us? What are we not brave enough to confront?.. 

It is time to decenter the spectacle that is capitalism & white settlerism and become grounded in a belief system that centers our collective future.

Fascism is formulaic, but as the late Octavia Butler insists, "God is change." How can we better understand and dismantle our internalized structures of violence in order to better embrace and run forward towards revolutionary change?

We question why it seems as though the priority of legacy has evaded our current day's discourse on music and the arts. We plead, will Frank Ocean ever release another album?

It's another day on G*d's forsaken internet. We are tired, disillusioned, and fed up. Through the lenses of class and poetic memory we share discourse on our early exposures and experiences with the internet, how our modern world exists in two distinct cultural worlds with opposing demands of being. In this episode, we ask, how do we create spaces within the tangible and digital madness that revolts against the algorithmic chaos? How do we insist on our humanness through it all?
