Edition 115 starts with Freda greeting the listener before handing the mic to Cat Bradfield for WLRN's World News segment featuring stories from France, Michigan, England, and Australia.
Enjoy the song "Like a Gift" by Samia Malek before hearing Thistle's commentary and snippets of audio from the FiLia conference ending in the song "Spinning & Weaving." Thistle's commentary is followed by Aurora's take, in which she examines the treatment of war at FiLia and encourages us to look more deeply at what causes conflict in the movement and not avoid it.
Stay tuned to the very end for Margaret's explanation of the cover image for the month and Lola's synopsis of the show coming out in December. Thanks, as always, for staying tuned to WLRN!
Artist's statement:
"To create the image for the 115th Edition of WLRN, I used a photo of Freda, aurora and Thistle taken at the FiLia conference. I also included a satellite image of Brighton. I took words from a couple of essays related to the conference and put them into a word cloud generator - playing with the colors and fonts.
Arranging everything, I made sure a few words were prominent, like FiLia, and solidarity. While mostly obscured, Zionism is situated over Gaza. Other words, such as biological, gender, research, influential, bodies, and war showed up more randomly.
I appreciate the texture of the words - and ideas. How they overlap visually and abstractly. How our point of views mingle as well as conflict."
