YBCA 100

Each year, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) in San Francisco, makes a list of 100 change-makers. Often they are art-related, but not always. Their honorees can range from someone like Beyoncé to some local person on twitter. From there, they invite some of these honorees to come together at the YBCA 100 Summit for a day of presentations, conversations, and question generation. The purpose of the summit is to bring together a group of invested folks to converse about how our individual and collective work can shift culture. YBCA listens to the conversations and distills it all down to three questions that will be used to guide their programming in the coming season.

This weekend I had the fortune of attending the YBCA 100 Summit. Notable honorees were Jill Soloway (director of “Transparent” and “I Love Dick”), Saul Williams (poet extraordinaire), Malkia Cyril (founder of Center for Media Justice), Boots Riley (musician and organizer), Jose Antonio Vargas (of Define American? And “DOCUMENTED” film), and Abdi Soltani (ED of ACLU NorCal). Also notable was the representation of people of color leading the event. It was a beautiful break from white-washed main-stream culture.

It was energizing to be in an auditorium with some of the most amazingly creative people trying to figure out how to change the world. Often, I feel like these types of events are preaching to the choir, or simply a gathering to not feel so alone. However, the YBCA 100 Summit felt like we were actually working towards something as it facilitated discussions that we brought back to the larger group in an attempt to create the guiding questions. I have always respected YBCA’s ability to be responsive but not reactive and nimble without being loose.

There was a lot of talk about President Donald J. Trump, either by name or by implication. Staceyann Chin screamed a poem about him, Jill Soloway made a video about him. At one point, a young girl (I’d guess around 12) in the audience asked the question, “if one person [Trump] can undo so much good, why can’t we [attendees of the summit] undo his [actions]?” It was a stunningly simple question, with little possibility of an answer. I can tell you though, every person who came up on the stage after that connected with this question and tried to wrestle with its implications.

The day ended with a collaborative performance by Staceyann Chin (poet), Saul Williams (poet), Yaw (singer), Samora Pinderhughes (musician), and Lil Buck (choreographer). This melding of the minds, both intellectual and creative, throughout the day gave me hope. It left me reeling in hope. To quote my friend, Annie, “all those performances helped me feel human again.” Art has the power to make us feel, deeply. And at a time where feeling human is hard, it was nice to be lead there with such fiercely loving grace.

OKDHS Fee

I had the opportunity to speak with a local attorney turned State Representative last weekend. He was recently elected and excited to be in the position to make a difference. He has already been very active in community service and providing resources to the community such as back to school events. We discussed the new monthly fee the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) put in place that can take up to $10 per month out of child support payments. This is in addition to the $25 annual fee that is also extracted. OKDHS was able to do this without approval from the legislature. The fee will effect families who most likely are already strapped for cash and need every bit of their child support payments. In February he plans to file legislation so that in the future these sort of fees will require approval from an outside entity such as the legislature.

When I asked him about the race for governor next year he was pretty tight lipped. He said he will not endorse a candidate until after the primaries and then he will endorse the Democratic candidate.

I wanted to end the conversation on a positive note so I asked him what made him optimistic about Oklahoma’s future. He told me that he sees OKC becoming more and more blue. He also mentioned the newly elected officials in special elections gave the state a few more Democratic leaders.

#Microvlogging?

My best friend, Sonya, and I started a feminist-equality-based-social-justice podcast together called “Sex Drugs and Sustainability: where equality is sexy.” Neither of us had podcasted before, but we were pretty sure we could figure it out–and we did. We run the entire operation ourselves from content generating, recording, editing, posting, web presence. From inception to promoted on social media, we probably each spend 8-10 hours working on a single hour long episode. We used to release an episode every other week. I’ll stress the “used to” part of that sentence.

Over the past year we’ve only been able to release a few episodes, and always later than planned. It’s been hiatus after hiatus. We are both committed to reseating it, and then can’t find the communal time to make it. We love creating feminist media and pushing it directly to our followers, but we just can’t keep up our lives and running the podcast. Recently, I had a revelation of how to potentially solve this problem: microvlogging.

Microvlogging is a new-ish wave (I actually haven’t seen anyone doing this successfully) of creating and immediately distributing content by creators on platforms like SnapChat. Essentially you embrace the front-facing camera (slightly terrifying), distill down your content into less than 15 second chunks and record! It is minimally time consuming, but gives the opportunity to engage with your audience regularly in short bursts, rather that occasionally in longer format.

After doing some market research, I made a plan for the “Sonya and Anza” brand to roll out microvlogging as our new social justice media platform. We would use the Instagram story feed (Instagram’s ripoff of SnapChat) of the @SonyaAndAnza account. We can both log in separately and post individually to the same account, which makes it ideal for being in two completely different places. We can build onto the other person’s posted content, or do something different–it doesn’t matter. Our audience will just see one feed. The stories disappear after 24 hours, so we are encouraging to check back daily to stay engaged with our content.

Social media is going the way of videos, with theories of Facebook being almost entirely video in just a few years. Microvlogging feels like a way get information out by utilizing the appeal of video while speaking to shorter attention spans or those with less time. I fall into the trap of not having an hour to listen to a podcast, but being able to find a couple minutes to scroll through social media–which is our ideal audience member.

We rolled out #microvlogging as a brand this last Saturday by recreating the start of our podcast, but in video form. You can watch it here (yes, revel in my amazing dance moves). In the days since, we have microvlogged about internalized misogyny, mental health, the #metoo campaign, and #spiritday. We are still navigating how to do this without preestablished guidelines or best practices, but are super excited about the possibilities of a more constant engagement with our audience. There are many questions with no answers to. Some examples include: How often do we post? How many videos can you do in a row before people lose interest? Filters? Hashtags? Do we download and post the videos on other platforms? Do we try to push all followers to our Instagram stories? Are we alienating followers by focusing only on Instagram? Does anyone even watch these and care? Is it a waste of time?

I invite you all to follow our Instagram and tune into our microvlogs. I honestly don’t know what this will look like as we fumble our way through it, but it feels like a valuable learning experience in content creation and digital media. I am truly looking forward to the opportunity to think about generating and distributing radical media in new and exciting ways. Fair warning, Sonya and I often get personal in an attempt to destigmatize in different arenas. This is all public, but do know you will learn a lot about me if you follow along.

Social Media in the Wake of Disaster

My mom had sent me a text, “Drive safe. It’s windy up here.” At that point, none of knew what would unfold that night.

As I drove farther north towards Napa the bright white moon turned a light orange, than a deep orange, and finally red. As I approached The Valley the hills were backlit with a glowing pink. Driving through Carneros, the wind was so strong trees and branches were swirling around the highway. For a moment I thought the wind was so intense it was pulling the top layer of dirt from the vineyards and filling the air with haze, until I realized it was smoke. I knew what this all meant: fires.

For those who haven’t heard: across Napa, Sonoma, Santa Rosa, and even into Solano county, are more than 14 wildfires that are just now gaining a few percentage points of containment. There have been more than a dozen deaths, thousands of acres burned, homes and businesses destroyed, and entire towns evacuated. This is called the worst fire in California history and it is far from being over.

Cell towers were destroyed and many were without power, so communication was tough. We are just now getting cell service back and power largely restored, but evacuations continue. As the fires were gaining momentum and the crisis was unfolding on Monday and Tuesday, news coverage was minimal and spotty.

During all of this, social media has been crucial. I am on Facebook and Twitter pretty constantly trying to figure out what is going on, as well as communicating with loved ones. The gestalt of all individuals sharing the information they’ve gathered, photos they’ve taken, and leads they’ve heard that has given us a more solid idea of what is happening. We’ve all been navigating how to share things on Facebook to our circles and make them public so others can share them to theirs. Commenting on each other’s posts with the information we have to connect the dots between what we all know separately.

It is also been a place for people to connect. To reach out to others and to be reached out to during an intensely scary time. With minimal (or no) cell service, social media has been a main hub of communication about personal safety, as well as the community’s.

It has taken an entire community to come together digitally to give us all insight into what is happening. Despite my #twitterpanic, I have plunged myself into the Twitter-sphere to follow a handful of hashtags to get as up-to-date information as possible. My main sources: #napafire #atlasfire #tubbsfire #nunsfire @cityofnapa @naparegister @NBCbayarea. It’s interesting to crowd source my information about the complete destruction of the town, rather than just follow news outlets (although those have been better today). Power to the people, as they are the ones getting the word out.

It has been a learning curve of how to navigate these digital spaces differently in the wake of an emergency. However, it has also made quite clear the mobilizing and communicative possibilities of these platforms. I have been thinking about how well they can work for organizing people and disseminating information when needed fast. I am taking mental notes about how this all goes to better utilize digital media strategies in the future.

End note: my family and friends are safe. Some have been evacuated, some have lost homes, but all are safe so I feel beyond fortunate. As I mentioned before, this is far from over. Some people have been asking me how they can help, and the truth is monetary donations are what is needed currently, and I point people to the Napa Valley Community Foundations disaster relief fund (they did a great job with a similar fund after the earthquake 3 years ago, so I know donations to them will be handled well and given to those in need). http://www.napavalleycf.org/napa-valley-community-disaster-relief-fund/

Mississippi’s Anti-LGBTQIA Law Now In Effect

Last year, Mississippi legislature passed a bill that would legalize discrimination.  It is one of the most comprehensive and discriminatory bills that passed in south in response to the legalization of gay marriage nationwide.  The HB1523 bill is ironically titled, “Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act,” gives religious organizations and private entities the authority to discriminate against any persons who is gay, transgender, or have sexual relations outside of wedlock.  These organizations and private businesses can refuse to provide goods and services, housing, and employment to any person that fits this criteria if they (organization and/or person) have strong religious convictions about marriage and gender identity.

The bill even goes as far as to protect employees, including government employees, who choose to not participate in any activity, such as authorizing marriage certificates or providing medical and/or counseling services to LGBTQIA persons.  The state employees are free to recuse themselves from this role without punishment.  Additionally, the law protects their expression of their deeply held beliefs at the workplace as long as “that speech or expressive conduct is consistent with the time, place, manner and frequency of any other expression of a religious, political, or moral belief or conviction allowed.”

The law clearly discriminates against the LGBTQIA community and is a violation of their constitutional right for marriage equality.  It is absurd that the fight for marriage equality can be distorted in such a way that religious groups or persons can claim that their rights are being violated when they are forced to uphold the constitutional rights of others.  These arguments, however, are not anything new in Mississippi.  Then and now many white Mississippians cry discrimination and oppression when the federal government forces the state to do the morally and/or constitutionally right thing.

Opponents of the law were able to successfully stall the law for 15 months, but as a result Thursday’s ruling, the law will take effect next week on October 10th.  It is unfortunate that someone has to actually experience discrimination in order for the court to rule the law unconstitutional, but that is our current system and is the reason for the 5th Circuit Court’s ruling.  The Campaign for Southern Equality has launched an effort to provide support to those impacted by the law.  This effort will provide the standing needed to argue the constitutionality of the law in court.

According to 2016 data published by the Williams Institute at the U.C.L.A. School of Law, Mississippi is home to 60,000 LGBT adults and an estimated 11,400 transgender youth and adults.  The state is also home to 3,500 same-sex couples, 29 percent of whom are raising children—the highest rate in the nation.

Given these statistics, it is likely this law will harm someone and violate their constitutional and civil rights.  The impact of the law, however, goes beyond the legal discrimination.  This law further marginalizes the lives of the LGBTQIA by privileging the religious views of people over the dignity and civil liberties of others.  Religious folks are given one more reason to feel validated in their mistreatment and/or apathy towards the LGBTQIA community.  This law reinforces the second class status so many LGBTQIA feel and experience in their daily lives and amounts to state sanctioned oppression against our LGBTQIA friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and fellow citizens.

 

 

One to One – Incarceration

This week I had a one to one with a friend of mine who works for the ACLU and also has a nonprofit of her own. She is one of the most active activists and community organizers in our community and she’s full of knowledge when it comes to what’s going on in our city. The ACLU is working on criminal justice reform in our state. Mass incarceration is a national problem but in Oklahoma we have the highest incarceration rates of women per capita in the United States. I was excited to hear her share upcoming ways to get plugged in and the work that needs to get done in the near future. She also shared about an upcoming hearing for a lady who has spent the last thirteen years in prison for failure to protect. The woman was in a domestic violence situation and did not leave soon enough. Her abuser spent no time behind bars and still has access to the kids while she is serving this sentence. Letters are being written on her behalf saying she has served her time and should be released. There are many stories like this that need to re-examined. Reveal has been focusing on the issues of incarceration in Oklahoma and hosted the Defining Justice event here a few weeks ago. She mentioned that her nonprofit received a grant and they will be able to help a few people with bail. She reiterates that there are lots of ways to get involved both in the background and in the forefront.

Alliance of Artists Communities

This week I am at the Alliance of Artists Communities (AAC) annual conference. The AAC is a membership organization that oversees artist residencies in the United States. A little over a year ago, I took a position as the manager of a major artist residency and have spent the last year struggling through all the challenges non-profit (arts) organizations face. With that in mind, I have been looking forward to this conference all year as a place to come together with my peers and discuss all the questions I have held onto all year long. This morning, the keynote plenary was on point with its brutally honest and real conversation about white supremacy and how the residency world has a long way to go.
The four panelist were all people of color and consisted of two artists, Tatiana Hernandez and Paul Rucker, Deana Haggag of United States Artists, and Hrag Varangian of Hyperallergic. The topic of the panel was “Supporting the 21st Century Artist,” but it wasn’t at all what I was expecting to fall under that category. The first orienting question was about how society as a whole is questioning authority. With that prompt, the panelist were off and running with themes of diversity, inclusion, and equity. Over and over the panelist acknowledged the inherent white supremacy in the art world, and thusly the residency world. Residencies are all saying they prioritize diversity, and maybe they are starting to get that representation in their artists, but many (if not most) residencies still aren’t seeing that diversity at the staff level. This is a huge problem (obviously) as if your staff is homogenous, then your programming will be homogenous and focused towards a limited (and non-diverse) audience.
One of my favorite conversations was that of the institution. They spoke at length about how institutions are playing it safe, so artists working with institutions are forced to play it safe for funders, board members, appearances, et cetera. One of the panelists said playing it safe is an elephant in the room, and it is killing us. Artists are ahead of the curve and institutions are holding them back. The panel asked us how we can nurture and foster dissenting voices, rather than perpetuating middle of the road ones. We were asked, as people of institutions, to be brave. To make the space in the institution to deal with this discomforts and to look at other models for running art spaces. We were asked to not only be brave, but to get uncomfortable.
Of particular interested was an idea of the panelists expressed that artists take on an organizing role in a community without training. They are often in the midst of their community, and as creators are ready to catalyze some change. A program one of the panelists shared was the Regional Arts Council of St. Louis, who is fostering this attribute of artists even more. Their “CAT” (Community Artist Training) Institute takes a group of artists and essentially teaches them to be artistic organizers over the course of 5 months. I am so excited by this idea and will be doing more research into their program and how successful it is.
This panel was so dynamic and so inspiring, I mustered up the courage to live tweet during it. (Y’all know about my #twitterpanic.) I felt a little rude to be on my phone during this absolutely amazing discussion, but I tried to hold onto the idea it was just an extension of my note taking. I tweeted out some of my favorite short quotes from the panelists: “I don’t get to be mad if I’m not activating for the greater good.” -Deana Haggag. “People love art, they don’t necessarily love artists.” -Paul Rucker. Although I had little engagement (thanks Cirien for liking a tweet) it was a good exercise in thinking about what I wanted to say and broadcast out into the Twitter-sphere. I also thanked the conference for prioritizing these conversations. It was important to me that I tweeted directly at them, but also put out into the world for other people to know this is an organization prioritizing difficult and exceptionally important conversations.
One of our biggest challenges in the artist residency world is the issues around social justice, diversity, inclusion, and equity. The thought of asking an artist to step away from their life for one week to one year, to travel, to pay, to get a stipend, to make work, to give us a piece, to give us nothing, to live with other eccentric artists you’ve never met, to live by yourself…all these things are overwhelming. We’ve found that many people don’t think artists residencies are a place for them, because they aren’t afforded some of the privileges you “need” to participate. The residency I work for is actively trying to address this for our residents (is completely failing on the staff side of things), and it is so exciting and invigorating to see our peers having the same conversations and actually going out and doing something about it.

The Las Vegas Shooting

In the aftermath of the worst mass shooting in modern American history, White House press secretary had this to say, “Now is the not the time to talk about gun control.” President Trump has echoed this, as has Mitch McConnell and numerous Senators. They do not think it’s the right time to politicize this matter. As Mark Kelly, whose wife former Representative Gabby Giffords was critically injured in a mass shooting, said, “If now is not the time, then when is?” Their lives were forever changed, and they subsequently started the organization Americans for Responsible Solutions. Their motto is to put communities interests ahead of the gun lobby’s. I agree that this is where the problem lies, with the power that the NRA holds in this country.

This morning when I got up, I came across a post on a facebook group I belong to, called The Resistance: Peaceful ACTION. A woman from a group called Twitter Warriors had painstakingly put together a list of Senators who have taken money from the NRA. She include the amounts they were given and their phone numbers. She also wrote out tweets that we could copy and paste, including links to these Senator’s tweets expressing their sympathies to families of those affected by the Las Vegas shootings. The tweets also point out the hypocrisy these Senators have shown, and included the hash tag #SendBack TheBloodMoney.

I spent the rest of my morning sending these tweets to all of the Senators on this list. As I expected, many were immediately taken down. So I proceeded to make phone calls to those on that list. Mitch McConnell’s voice mail was full, so I had to send him a message on his website. I got through to the rest of the Senator’s offices. At a few, I had to leave voice mails, but I spoke to people in the rest of the offices. I used to do these types of things quite frequently in the past, but, as I have mentioned before, I had become complacent in recent years. I am not proud of this.

I am very grateful for this program at Prescott, and this class in organizing. Between my disgust with Donald Trump and the Republican party, and the guidance I have received at Prescott, my fighting spirit is back! I want to emphasize that I will be implementing my fighting spirit by the most peaceful means possible. I am thinking now that my passion will be to work for gun control. There are so many things wrong with the world right now, and I think the only way to personally make a difference is to focus on a small number of issues. The gun control issues always makes me think of my Norwegian immigrant grandfather, who came to the United States in the early 1900’s. I remember when I was a child in the 1950’s, how horrified he was by the gun violence in America. My siblings, cousins, and I were never allowed to have toy guns.

I just saw that Sen. John Thune (R-SD) made the following statement today in regard to the Las Vegas shootings, “I think people are going to have to take steps in their own lives to take precautions. To protect themselves. In situations like that, you know, try to stay safe. As somebody said — get small.” This is a cruel and disgusting thing to say in the aftermath of these shootings, and a United States Senator said it! We have a lot of work ahead of us.
