Raza Si, Migra No

Filiberto Nolasco Gomez — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 16:12:00 +0000

On this episode I chat with University of Minnesota Chicano Studies Prof. Jimmy Patino on his new book Raza Si Migra No the book is primarily about the san diego Chicano Activist response to the formation of the border patrol. And its also a book that is over 300 pages so its much more then that. Take a listen and as Jimmy and I wax poetic about the state, being chicano,and power Of specific interest to me is this lost of history of Chicano radical poliitics. If you are enegaged at all in chicano history I think you will find this book to be nourishing.

Chaun Webster - GeNtry!fication

Filiberto Nolasco Gomez — Sat, 07 Apr 2018 13:15:20 +0000

Poet and graphic designer Chaun Webster draws from an interest in the work of sign in graffiti, the layering of collage, and the visuality of text. These methods are used in Webster’s work to investigate race – specifically the instability of blackness and black subjectivities, geography, memory, and the body. Correspondingly much of these investigations engage the question of absence, how to archive what is missing from the landscape particularly as a number of communities watch in real time, neighborhoods once populated with familiar presences, dissolve in the vernacular of redevelopment and its attendant colonial logic.

Manchita

Filiberto Nolasco Gomez — Mon, 04 Dec 2017 16:11:41 +0000

Twin Cities' own rap 'hellion,' Manchita (GRRRL PRTY, Tha Clerb), recently released her debut sola project, One, with Minneapolis-based producer-performer-composer, Bionik (Aaliyah, R. Kelly, Lizzo). Though Bionik is known for his danceable, in-your-face, pulsing, electronic bass music, the EPs production showcases an unexpected moodiness, tenderness, and an attention to subtlety that is made visible and is amplified by the gritty content of Manchitas words, and her whispy falsetto. As a whole, the project reveals a more introspective, heavy-hearted body of work centered on love, loss, and survival.

Gustavo Lira

Filiberto Nolasco Gomez — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 02:04:02 +0000

Hoy hablamos con un artista local de Minneapolis, Gustavo Lira, quien ha pintado muchos murales en las Ciudades Gemelas, incluyendo uno aqui en Centro Tyrone Guzman. Aunque empezó como una entrevista sobre el, en poco tiempo el enfoque era sobre nosotros. Su arte habla de justicia y en eso pide nuestras perspectivas. Nos preguntó sobre que es justo para nuestra comunidad. ¿Qué debe cambiar para nuestra comunidad? Finalmente la pregunta mas fuerte era sobre que quisieramos decir a Presidente Trump si hubiera la oportunidad. Fue un placer hablar con Gustavo Lira, y agradecimos mucho su presencia.

Filiberto Nolasco Gomez — Sun, 21 Feb 2016 18:46:38 +0000

The word “Cuicani” is a Nahuatl word that means “Singer.” We chose this name because we felt it evoked the importance of exercising one’s voice, and also of giving a voice to the voiceless. Established in 2012, Cuicani’s eclectic mix of members reflects the diversity of the city it calls home. In our three years together we have written and recorded over 15 original songs with themes such as: environmental justice, immigration rights, and protesting police brutality

Social Justice Artist Ricardo Levins Morales

Filiberto Nolasco Gomez — Tue, 15 Apr 2014 23:24:09 +0000

Ricardo might possibly be the most interesting man in Minneapolis. Walking into his studio is an education in the diverse nature of social justice movements since the folks that commission his work are broad and geographically dispersed. Everything from images about Angela Davis to pieces that represent the fight for worker rights. During our conversation he was carefully scraping clay and ink creating a new graphic about climate change. Has he describes it his work is a lot like song writing, hes telling a story with the images. His work can be found here, http://www.rlmartstudio.com

Chicano Batman

Filiberto Nolasco Gomez — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 06:43:33 +0000

We had a great wide ranging conversation in Los Angeles. Chicano Batman's sound is best described by bassist Eduardo Arenas as a 1980s backyard carne asada and their soundtracks. Lyricists Bardo Martinez talks about growing up in La Mirada and needing music to help him get past the largely white society. Finally, we get into really fun anecdotes about playing in far out places like touring Japan through “Barrio Gold” records and performing before a japanese drag queen rock band.
