Tue, 12 Mar 2024 - 217 - 𝑳𝒊𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒅 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔 - Holding Space by Aaliyah-Jade Bradbury
"Space is scared. We often think that space is related to the physical and the tangible but also the metaphysical. To hold space for someone is a great gift. In today's world, we all have these pockets of existence, but we rarely and genuinely hold space for others that is more than just superficial. To hold space for another is to exist with them at that moment - to share breath and existence. If we want to build the bridges between ignorance and discrimination, we must share breath. australian Indigenous culture is defined by how we are connected. Even before we are born, we have already been given a song- a story. We were born with a place in this world and, with that, a legacy. Through this legacy, we as a people know that we are a part of this land and everything and everyone inhabiting it. We were born to hold space and share breath."
With roots in the Larrakia Nation of Garamilla (Darwin) and Erubam Le peoples of Meriam Mir. A trailblazing filmmaker, broadcaster and community-builder.

Mon, 11 Dec 2023 - 206 - Community Conversations: From Gadigal to Gaza Resistance Until Liberation
We are honored to offer this bonus episode with gratitude and soldiarity with The Red Rattler Theatre, Autonomous Collective Against Racism (ACAR) & Blak Caucus. This is as much a talk as it is a compelling call to action, listen to their words.
"Palestinian activists and the Blak Caucus invite you to this plenary on unceded Gadigal land.
Our siblings in Palestine face a genocide, their existence at risk of total wipeout. On this colony, another Black death in custody rips through First Nations communities in the wake of a failed referendum that revealed rather then unite.
Anti-colonial resistance is more important than ever, and these solidarities between communities are crucial to pave the way forward. We invite all Blackfullas, Palestinians, Indigenous peoples across the globe. We invite trusted allies and those keen to attend with an open mind and without racism in their hearts.
Always was, always will be. From the river to the sea."
Hear from Lizzie Jarrett, Rand Khatib, Meriki Onus, Ethan Lyons, Lana Tatour, Randa Abdel Fattah, Amal Naser - recorded live on 26th October 2023 on the unceded and sacred Wangal Clan Lands of Gadigal Country

Mon, 27 Nov 2023 - 203 - #145 Thank You Tanya Ali ♡
Where would Race Matters be without Tanya Ali? Honestly, we probably wouldn't exist.
As well as being one of the founding co-hosts of the show, Tanya was a luminous compass for the show’s vision and growth in her time as executive producer and continues to nurture what we do. Somewhere in the haze of post-lockdown she graciously stepped out of her volunteer role as Executive Producer and never got a final show. SO this morning we are going to honor her her years of work and the real labour it took to uphold it, and are excited to have her as our special guest.

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 - 201 - Radical Pedagogies: Dismantle the System
Meet some of our newest co-hosts and producers Samantha Haran and Alicia Zhao. They’ve been working together on this new series to reimagine and explore the possibilities of what ‘education’ can be and alternative ways in which we learn, gesturing towards modes that are transformative and healing.
They begin by looking critically at the ways in which current models of education are failing people and enacting violence; hearing from some listener voice messages that were both vulnerable and concerning. They come to this as learners as well as producers to this series, weaving critical conversation and care.

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 - 200 - Migrant Sex Workers of Colour: We Are Here To Take Space
We are very excited and honored to bring forward the first episode of Migrant S3x Workers of Colour, a series of intimate dialogues produced by Jasmine Raat Ki Raani
"The views, thoughts and opinions expressed in this audio series are by migrant sex workers of color who speak for themselves and not for the entire community. We do not take responsibility for how the audience perceives us or our stories because we are not here to please. We are a work in progress and our thoughts, views and opinions are subject to change. We do not intend to hurt anyone’s feelings, your feelings are your responsibility.
In India the s3x workers I met taught me that 'the first step towards revolution is the revolution of self-worth. That we can’t fight the world if we haven’t fought with ourselves. The only thing that matters to us is how we see ourselves.'
No longer are we going to wait for someone to pass us the mic. No longer are we waiting for someone to save us. No longer will we let anyone decide how our words should sound. We speak clearly. We affirm we are here to take space. We urge everyone from in and out the industry to listen to listen"
Series concept, produced and edited - Jasmine Raat Ki Raani
Episode dialogues with - Alana, Rosa, Milan
Series artwork - Katy Cao
Final mixing & sound design - Shareeka Helaluddin

What are our responsibilities when it comes to sharing stories of vulnerable communities, and those that have been displaced? What are ways that we can understand one story as ways to disrupt, to uncover the truth of so many more that go unnoticed, untold?
Our show today traces the flows of displacement of a Tamil family that was thrust into the national political spotlight as they experienced the harsh violence of our asylum seeking system: Nades, Priya and their daughters Kopika and Tharnicaa, the Nadesigalum family. We hear from co-producers and creatives, Jay Ooi & Thinesh Thillainadarajah from You Have Been Told a Lie.

Mon, 28 Aug 2023 - 193 - #140 Decoding Race, Ai, Algorithms & Automation (with Dr Thao Phan & Dr Sarita Herse)
DECODING RACE, AI, ALGORITHMS & AUTOMATION
The tech we use impacts our lives. They aren’t neutral objects but can have particular worldviews baked-in to the very operation of them. It can be overwhelming to begin to challenge those cultural biases when a lot of mainstream conversation on technology is wrapped up in speculation and paranoia. How do we make sense of all this? On today’s show we begin to decode some of this with guest producer Dr Sarita Herse in conversation with feminist technoscience Dr Thao Phan. Together they chat through race, AI and algorithms helping us see through the veil of opaque and insidious tech; and ways to co-opt these forms to find meaningful resistance.

Content note: this talk will mention Black deaths in custody, policy brutality, grief and mention of torture. These are told from the lived experience of our guest and how this shapes their response to the conversation. In some instances this is described in detail to shed truth, so we ask that you go gently and decide when the time is right for you to listen in.
On today’s show we’re asking: What if our institutions were life-affirming, instead of death-making? This is the question at the heart of abolition, a political tradition that demands the end of prisons, as well as the end of the kind of world that could ever even have something as violent as a prison. Our guest for this week is Latoya Aroha Rule - activist and writer working to ban the use of spithoods in this country who's work explores all this and more. Their journey towards this has been deeply rooted in grief and love as well as the power of creative protests.

Our conversation with them maps the pain and violence that can stop us from knowing how to enact and receive love, intimacy, queer kinship, and how loving action can be a tool for social change.

They bring together how broader systems of injustice play out in interpersonal relationships, trauma and healing - and the ways we can move towards a type of care that recognises the intricacies of being a racialised person, and how we find our own versions of resilience and regulation.

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 - 169 - Episode 121: Against Disappearance (with Leah Jing McIntosh & Adolfo Aranjuez)
How do we tell the stories of those who have been diminished or ignored in the writing of history? How do we do justice to the lives they lived, or to the people they were? How does where we come from connect to where we are headed?
These are some of the questions put forward in a new anthology by LIMINAL, an anti-racist literary and art platform based in Naarm. A collection from the longlist of the Liminal and Pantera Press Nonfiction Prize, the book is titled, Against Disappearance. The essays on memory are a powerful collection of First Nations and People of Colour questioning the past and envisioning new futures - free from any shallow or singular story. Hear from editors Leah Jing McIntosh and Adolfo Aranjuez earlier this week on the importance of bringing together these works, fighting against the forced disappearance of cultures in so-called Australia through subversive and experimental writing and thinking.

Darren and Sara reflect on four years of Race Matters: how the show has evolved over the years, shaped their relationship and where the future of Race Matters lies.
We then hear an interview with multidisciplinary artist Riana Head-Toussaint after the debut of her club night Crip Rave Theory. It was an event created in response to inaccessible and exclusionary club spaces, centring and celebrating all bodies that are sidelined in traditional nightlife culture. We’ll learn about how she created a club night drawing on disabled knowledge to create a more intersectionally-accessible rave space, shifting what we think access and inclusion means; and honouring the history of disability justice as being founded by black and brown queer folk.
Our gratitude to Riana for sharing so generously, and for reminding us that accessibility is ongoing, loving and caring work.

Ahead of a series of workshops they'll be facilitating at the Sydney Opera House, they chatted about the work they’ve been doing to recover a Vietnamese drum called the Đông Sơn.

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 - 166 - Beyond Borders Part Four: Conversations Exploring Blackness Across Borders by Binta Yade
Activism: a word thrown around a lot especially in the last few years, but what does it actually mean? Does it still carry the same power as it once did? How do we differentiate from change-makers and clout-chasers? In the final piece of the Beyond Borders series Binta Yade speaks to three community facilitators and social organisers across the black diaspora in Naarm and the UK to upend what we assume social change looks like, and the long legacies of organisation and solidarity across the black diaspora sometimes forgotten.
We hear from Foundation For Young Australians community organiser Munira Yusuf-Jate and anti-racist, abolitionist organiser Reem Yehdego on approaching social change through a framework of healing, care and love. We then hear from an educational organiser from the UK and founder of Thinking Black, Hope Oloye on how she approaches transforming education systems from the inside out.

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 - 161 - Episode 115: From Gadigal to Gaza, Until We Are All Free (with Amal Naser and Mell Chun)
Palestine has long been described as a ‘litmus test’ where solidarity with Palestine is not just about our individual choices, but also about our collective ability. There’s the reality of a global narrative - that has legitimated oppression for many decades.
This week we were honoured to speak to third-generation Palestinian refugee and organiser Amal Naser, and independent journalist and audio editor for the The Sunday Paper, Mell Chun.
Together they delved into a rich and detailed conversation about what we need to be paying attention to on the ground in Palestine, the power of global boycotts to bring Israel occupation into account, as well as deepening the relationships of interracial solidarity to move towards freedom for all displaced, First Nations communities across the globe.
There are many great resources that introduce the Palestinian Liberation Movement, Decolonize Palestine has some 101 resources as well as the Australian Palestine Advocacy Network.

Yassmin Abdel-Magied: she’s someone who seemingly needs no introduction. A Sudanese-Australian writer and advocate, chastised by mainstream Australian media for speaking truth to inequity and violent systems of oppression.

Kojey Radical, Blessed and Chanel Loren - they’re all creatives who have established their music careers not only in spite of the racial injustices that proliferate in the industry, but unapologetically find ways to express and redefine their cultural outputs.

We’ll hear them speak about the way that their Blackness has been received, the way its incorporated and maybe the challenges that it poses to the industry - most importantly, how they find a sense of self a creativity beyond shallow definitions posed by the music industry.

Sim Cheuanghane is a multidisciplinary artist, curator and DJ who recently wrote an anthropology thesis entitled "Food as Practice: Navigations of Chinese Diasporic Identity Through Food Making and Sharing". This work explores the Chinese diaspora and the role of food in the process of re-connecting and re-constructing individual and collective identities and forging solidarity.
Through their work, we learn how food takes on meaning beyond nourishment — to signify movement, pleasure, connection, emotion and even a form of protest for racialised people. Sim’s work is rich with emotion, story and taste- so we are excited to have them them speak to it.
In this interview, Sim mentions a zine on Chinese Protest Recipes, which can be found here.

Mon, 23 May 2022 - 153 - Episode 108: How to Lose Friends and Influence White People (with Antoinette Lattouf)
What is it to talk about race and racism in this country? What is really at stake for racially marginalised people to speak to the truths of injustice? For a lot of People of Colour and First Nations peoples, it can be really hard to reconcile that these are not far-off extreme things occurring in only political debate or right-wing rhetoric. It can be in our closest and intimate relationships, and our work places. So these conversations are charged with emotion and knowing that to speak to injustice can be at the loss of a friendship, a partner, a job, a social structure you once thought was safe and familiar.
This week, we were joined by award-winning journalist, co-founder and co-chair of Media Diversity Australia - Antoinette Lattouf. She has just released a book titled How to Lose Friends and Influence White People.

Mon, 16 May 2022 - 152 - Beyond Borders Part One: Conversations Exploring Blackness Across Borders by Binta Yade
We are really excited to be airing the debut of our first ever series, Beyond Borders by Binta Yade. Conceptualised, produced and edited by Binta herself - the series discusses how expressions of blackness materialise in the UK and in Australia, and the ways in which black folk from either place continuously move beyond the limitations set by - and redefine - the mainstream amid the divergent history of the African Diaspora in these places.
In this first episode, we hear Binta chatting to coveted writer Sisonke Msimang alongside accomplished anti-racist facilitator and advocate Maxine Thomas-Asante. Their words go well beyond surface, piercing through to upheaval shallow conversations about race, blackness, conceptions of self and a radical dreaming rooted in deep, critical connection.
You’ll also hear an exclusive interview between Binta and FBi’s own Tariro Mukando sharing an intimate reflection on this piece and how it came together.
The Beyond Borders features the artwork of Gianna Hayes. She shares, “these pieces have been produced by overlaying plant-dyed fabrics. They reflect the merging of terrains, landscapes and waters as a response to the merging of conversations and experiences as black folks navigate various spaces. We carve our own sacred ecosystems that awaken our divinity”

Ahead of his show on the 30th of April with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, this week Shareeka chatted to Bornean-Australian author, wood carver, rapper and poet Omar Musa.
Often described as liminal, oscillating between genre, culture and disciplines - Omar's work defies definition. We chat about reaching a point of wanting to create from a place of euphoria and healing, creating your own myths, how wood carving has brought a visceral and tactile connection to his homeland of Borneo, and taking up unapologetic space with art making to challenging norms. Listen back to hear this powerful, tender conversation and to be flawed by Omar's poetic responses.
Join Omar Musa & Friends for a night of storytelling, visuals, poetry and political commentary on Saturday 30th April at 9pm.

Lost work, increased racism, inequitable resource, burnout, questionable Diversity & Inclusion strategies, the risk of losing a generation of artists, gestures towards hope.
Today on the show we are talking about the impacts that the ongoing pandemic has had on the lives and wellbeing for First Nations artists and creatives of colour. We all know the arts have been hard hit all round - but what about for marginalised communities that were already experiencing uneven representation and opportunity in creative industries. Diversity Arts are publishing their second Lost Work report detailing all this and more, including whether global anti-racist movements like Black Lives Matter and #stopasianhate have led to meaningful industry shifts. The results are concerning and paints a picture of how oppressive practices continue to impact the lives and wellbeing of our creative communities.
We were joined by two artists who shared their experiences of the last few years: Wakka Wakka Kombumerri dancer Katina Olsen and Shyamla Eswaran, dancer and founder of south asian arts movement Bindi Bosses. We also chatted to Alexia Derbas, researcher and policy manager at Diversity Arts Australia, who helped us make sense of the findings.
