Karen Jaime on Queer Puerto Rican Slam Poetry
Manage episode 176388136 series 1014294
How can poetry translate or disrupt political dialogue? In what way is classroom teaching a performance?
In episode 34 of the Imagine Otherwise podcast, host Cathy Hannabach and guest Karen Jaime discuss the history of queer and trans* Puerto Rican poets in New York City, how professors can use the classroom as both an artistic and activist space, how poets paradoxically use language to bust through language barriers, poetry as consciousness raising, and why queer and trans artists of color turn to multimedia and transdisciplinary work to forge social justice movements.
