Yes, I came across Bayo about a year ago, and listened to a lot of his interviewers. His facebook page is also one of the few worth following, for original writings https://www.facebook.com/bayoakomolafeampersand
Thank you Bayo for speaking to the 'modern slave ship,' as we all make ourselves slaves, servants, and/or participants in systems - for a day, a week, a career span, a lifetime, or even a millenium. Ironically that is why i support the so-called materialism of the millennials, who have had enough of the old St. Francis-like depiction of poverty and nobility of spirit as the same (in white christian culture), b/c the original writing of the word "poor" didn't mean monetary, it meant receptive, simple, like a child, who recognizes the kind of love that it needs without reason.
Yes, Bayo Akomolafe and Angel Acosta’s conversation blew my mind and heart open. I agree with Matthew Green’s assessment here. I would just like to add the image or maybe meta metaphor that Bayo offered : “onto-fugitivity” rather than arrival has captured my imagination.
Yes, and i wonder if that term would even fall into the bandwidth of most educated people, since ontology isn't commonly discussed in contemporary culture? Or certainly not with young people, either, whom i love. 💗
Hi Matthew: More deep gratitude and cheers for the new voice (and vantage point) you have added to this collective "tribe". You now are a place for me to bring pieces that just ask for more exploring. This theatre work on Isolation in Prisons is ripe for being included in Collective Trauma Healing. (plus maybe check out the documentary makers - in process still).
