SUMMARY:Insisting on Our Humanity: Hank Willis Thomas (Wide Awakes) and Congresswoman Cori Bush
DESCRIPTION:In this episode\, artist Hank Willis Thomas holds space for Congresswoman Cori Bush to share vulnerability around the intense battles that have shaped her public career: the Ferguson uprising\, personal traumas\, the road to Congress\, and the violent insurrection she confronted in her first weeks in office. Thomas shapes an empathic conversation\, taking a moment to recognize Bush and share an appreciation of Black women throughout history. Their conversation asks us to consider how we can care for front-line activists\, bring joy to the center\, and insist on our humanity. \nHank Willis Thomas is a conceptual artist working primarily with themes related to perspective\, identity\, commodity\, media\, and popular culture. His collaborative projects include Question Bridge: Black Males\, In Search Of The Truth (The Truth Booth)\, Writing on the Wall\, and the artist-run initiative for art and civic engagement For Freedoms. Thomas is a recipient of the Gordon Parks Foundation Fellowship (2018)\, Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship (2018)\, Art for Justice Grant (2018)\, AIMIA | AGO Photography Prize (2017)\, Soros Equality Fellowship (2017)\, and is a former member of the New York City Public Design Commission. \nCongresswoman Cori Bush is a registered nurse\, community activist\, organizer\, single mother\, and ordained pastor for the people of St. Louis. Congresswoman Bush is serving her first term as the representative of Missouri’s 1st Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. She is the first Black woman and first nurse to represent Missouri; the first woman to represent Missouri’s 1st Congressional District; and the first activist from the movement fighting for Black lives elected to the United States Congress. \nRadio Resistance assembles the voices of intersecting local and global agents of change. Artists featured in the exhibition Stories of Resistance are paired with figures from the past\, present\, and future of St. Louis\, coming together to transmit messages of dissent. A selection from their discussion can be found on St. Louis on the Air\, the noontime talk program hosted by Sarah Fenske on St. Louis Public Radio\, with the full episode also available in a listening station at CAM\, and on Apple Podcasts\, Spotify\, and Stitcher. \nRadio Resistance is co-produced by Michelle Dezember\, Director of Learning  and Engagement\, Wassan Al-Khudhairi\, Chief Curator\, and Misa Jeffereis\, Assistant Curator. Sound design and editing by Sean Pierce. \nListen + Subscribe
