“The task of the artist is determined always by the status and process and agenda of the community that it already serves. If you’re an artist who identifies with, who springs from, who is serviced by or drafted by a bourgeois capitalist class then that’s the kind of writing you do. Then your job is to maintain status quo, to celebrate exploitation or to guise it in some lovely, romantic way. That’s your job…” Toni Cade Bambara, interviewed by Kay Bonetti, 1982 __________________________________ Episode 2: Amara Brady Welcome to the Antiracist Artist Podcast, a podcast for activists, advocates and allies working to make our communities equitable through artistry. Each episode we are joined in conversation by an artist or arts facilitator who has been paving the way, in hopes of learning from their expertise and experience. Through action and unity, we can create a better tomorrow today. Let’s go! __________________________________ Hello and welcome to the Antiracist Artist Podcast. I’m your host, Taylor Ybarra, and I’m so glad to have you a part of the conversation.  In this episode of the Antiracist Artist Podcast we spoke with Amara Brady (she/her/hers), a theater maker from Chigaco whose mission is to uplift Women of Color, especially Black women, and the underserved communities. Graduating from the University of Oklahoma class of 2017, she has built an impressive portfolio of work being showcased at The Drama League, The Dramatists Guild, Joe's Pub, and The Wow Cafe Theatre. Amara wants to remind you to resist, check your privilege, and then give some space to Women of Color &amp; Trans Folx.  You can find Amara and her work at amarajanaebrady.com and on Instagram @bradynotthebunch  During this episode, Amara and I talk about: The effects of anti-racism and how it permeates into every life aspect. From her own politics to her own desires and artistry.Understanding the separation of different artists’ works and how the pieces they create may or may not give a platform to social justice issues.How all the “-isms” are directly tied to each other like racism, classism, ableism, transphobia, etc.As an artist and person, Amara addresses social injustice and how art has always been the thing to mobilize and get people involved.Underrepresentation and the stereotyping of diverse people on stages.How success in combating racism is committing to a journey.Racism &amp; COVID-19And so much more!
