"On Trains: To All Migrants Past, Present, And Future" with Angel & Keish, and special guest, poet, danilo machado
02.10.2022 | 4:00 – 5:00 PM | Zoom Webinar
Angel and Keish’s podcast, A Revolutionary Love Letter: to All Migrants, Past, Present, and Future, is organized around words and phrases that shape im/migrant narratives. They center the experiences of queer im/migrant artists, poets, troublemakers, and organizers whose works and organizing principles have inspired and sparked radical imaginations for what could be a world where we are all free. This talk presents the word trains to think about the history of labor, dispossession, displacement, and fugitivity. The podcasters ask: what sights, sounds, smells are evoked when you think of trains? Were you taught about whose bodies and lands were violated/crossed in the building of railroads? What might trains signify to migrants who are deemed “undocumented” or “unauthorized” by this settler-colonial government known colloquially as the United States of America?
