This episode features APC Artist-in-Residence Ricardo Bracho in conversation with Poet and Comparative Literature Graduate Student Lucas de Lima and APC Interim Associate Director Maria Murphy. Ricardo reads excerpts from his new work Circa, his short play Mi Madre, and his manifesto A Proclamation Of, By, and On Negation. Ricardo discusses the (in)operability of inclusion discourse, growing up as a red diaper baby, articulations of solidarity, how he still believes in the revolution, and the need for faculty to recognize themselves as workers.
Since the recording of this episode, and the onset of COVID-19, the Circa production at Slought Foundation has been postponed.
