Two of the top music producers in the biz, Fatima Al Qadiri and Venus X, came together for the first time, destroying their egos to create the score for Hood By Air's Superego SS15 presentation. See if you can catch any of their references: 

Paris is burning, evil spirit cunt, spectacle dread, surveillance sorcery, abandoned skyscraper, concrete skincrawl, office antechambers, and medieval shade...

Room 302 Feat. Tink

The Black Feminist Mixtape is a series of Hip Hop mixtapes celebrating Black women. Hip Hop is a powerful medium in itself and has the power to spread messages and influence the way people think. The history of Hip Hop has often put women down, either by trying to keep them quiet or making them a subject of sex or rape, thus silencing them. The racial, sexist and misogynist discourse towards Black women in Hip Hop is only a reflexion of their lived realities enforced by a White patriarchal supremacy. 

This first volume of the mixtape series aims to shed a light of the misogyny in Hip Hop while seeking to subvert the power of patriarchy and empowering Black women.

Fatima Al Qadiri - Battery - Taken From 'Brute', Released 4th March 2016

This lecture addresses one of the paradoxes that marks all critical thought, namely: how to engage in affirmative politics, which entails the creation of sustainable alternatives geared to the construction of social horizons of hope, while at the same time doing the work of critique, which implies resistance to the present. The relationship between creation and critique is a problem that has confronted all activists and critical theorists: how to balance the creative potential of critical thought with the dose of negative criticism and oppositional consciousness that such a stance necessarily entails. Central to this debate is the question of how to resist the present, more specifically the injustice, violence and vulgarity of the times, while being worthy of our times, so as to engage with them in a productive, albeit in oppositional and affirmative manner. This paper engages with the contextual and the conceptual aspects of this question.

Design Matters

Design Matters with Debbie Millman: Brene Brown

When you train your body, you actually don’t get stronger while you’re lifting weights. You get stronger after your training session and during your recovery period. For your muscles to fully adapt and recover, you need to eat plenty of food and get plenty of sleep. To really get strong, you need to take your recovery as serious as you take your training. 

What's true for the body, is true for the mind as well. At least that’s what my guests today argue. Their names are Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness and they’re the co-authors of the book "Peak Performance: Elevate Your Game, Avoid Burnout, and Thrive With the New Science of Success." 

Today on the show, Brad and Steve share how their respective backgrounds in elite running and business consulting taught them the importance of rest and recovery from brain work. We begin our discussion on how the American ethos of 24/7 grind and hustle actually hinders performance in school and work. We then dig into the science of burnout: what it is, how it feels, and why it happens. Brad and Steve then share how you can start incorporating “recovery” periods into your intellectual life that will allow your psyche to get stronger and more resilient. 

If you’ve been feeling burnout from work or school or if you simply want to perform better, this episode is for you.
