91: Art Against the Machine. Our Creative Purpose IS Our Paradigm Shift. Eve Eurydice w Nana Kwame

Speak with Eve Eurydice

Eve Eurydice speaks with Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of Friday Black, about our current googlified Categories of Creative Production and how they censor Creative freedom and Creative Purpose. We discuss Literary Writing as an unending Incantation and Exorcism. We discuss Blackness, Otherness, The Power of Saying No, The Power of Not Belonging in the context of Art. We call for a mass Paradigm Shift. The Patriarchy insists on dividing Mind from Body and monetizing Conceptual and Intellectual labor more than Embodied and Emotional Work. Creative Writing is only one aspect of Art. (Professional Writing, Essay Writing, Teaching of Writing are not.) Creative People Must Take Back the Production of Creation which stems out of Chaos and won’t be systematized. Our best Language is the echo of our beating pulse. So Write down the Body! Write what you’re Afraid to Say! Write what feels to you most Unspeakable!⚡️For more on Nana’s work, go to https://www.nanakwameadjei-brenyah.com.
