What Does It Mean To Be A Person Beyond the Body?

In today's convo, Race Matters' Janey Li and Sehej Kaur chat with technologist, researcher, designer and writer of A Sexual History of the Internet's Mindy Seu.

A day after Mindy's lecture performance of the same title, the trio touch on the sprawling connections between sexuality, techno-development, autonomy and innovation, desire and extraction. This is a convo that embarks on the labour history project of the internet while exploring the embodied approach of these technologies, identifying the way folks including activists, sex workers and artists have subverted the resource allocation of the internet.

In search for a more liberated, erotic and queer internet.

What role does spirituality play in our solidarity movements? What is spirituality without accountability?

Alicia Zhao traces the connection between ritual, chanting and protest, joined by Joannie Lee. We hear from artist, organiser and Buddhist practitioner Elaine Su-Hui, who reflects on how devotional recitation meets collective voice, and ritual becomes a site of both grounding and action. We are also guided by Aunty Rhonda, whose life and work speak to the inseparability of ceremony, Country, and resistance. This episode is a reflection on spirituality as a living, breathing force within solidarity movements.

A content note for First Nations listeners, this piece mentions ancestors who have passed and there is brief mention of death in custody.

This episode was produced by Alicia Zhao, with supervision and creative advice from Shareeka Helaluddin.
