Episode four: Jamilah Malika Abu-Bakare

Jamilah Malika Abu-Bakare is  an artist and writer contemplating refusal, repetition, dedication, and intimacy through sound art, video essay, text off-page and/or installation. Whatever the form, she centers Black women with care and puts on listening before looking. By doing so, both Jamilah and the audience move towards their collective freedom. 

We spoke with Jamilah about sound as haptic and embodied material and how care could be demonstrated through sound, and listening to gain agency through systems of power.
