Freedom Journal: Radical Imagination 3Freedom Journal: Antidotes to Violence is an album that arose out of the racial violence--and the varied responses to it-- in 2018 and 2019. More specifically, the album is an iteration, an evolving thought pattern concerning how anti-Black racism and white supremacy came to be, and how they might be undone within Brandon Wint's lifetime. This album is one articulation among many, about the experience of being Black in North America, with its attendant histories, joys and tough reconciliations. The album is indebted to the work of such thinkers and writers as Christina Sharpe, Robin DG Kelley, Cedric Robinson, Dionne Brand and others--though my own thinking and reading on the aforementioned subjects in incomplete, I thank these writers for giving me a literary, poetic and historical path to walk, think and study through.Thank you to the Canada Council of the Arts for funding this re-worked iteration of the project, and to my friends and collaborators who helped these poems and songs come to life. Thank you Karimah, Tyson, Andreas, Daniel, Jane, Brian, Shammy, Alyssa and Lebogang for your skill, patience, grace and friendship.** All of the poems (as distinct from Freedom Journals) on this album also appear in print in the book Divine Animal, which can be found here: https://writebloodynorth.ca/products/divine-animal
