(Image Id’s in comments) Repost from @neweconomycoalition • “We learned about all types of different things, from solidarity economies [economies prioritizing people and the planet over endless growth and profit] to different grassroots organizing that was going on in different parts of the country around climate. I started to feel really excited about how to draw connections in my arts practice.” - @mad.lines #CreativeWildfire artist #MADlines was featured in 📻@KQED 📻 this month for their new album, “downCHANTS” 🌎 There’s even a track called “Solidarity Economy” you can hear when you swipe ↩️🎶✊🏽 As they say in Oakland, 🗣 IT SLAPS #Repost from @mad.lines GO STREAM downCHANTS 🌍 is a twenty-track hip hop album about the Climate Crisis. The idea 💡 came from Bob Marley & the Wailers' song, "Chant Down Babylon." Marley was a deeply spiritual creator who brought Rastafarianism to mainstream consciousness. In Rastafarianism, Babylon is often referred to as governments and institutions which rebel against the will of Jah. Although I do not adhere to the Rasta faith (I identify as an artist-alchemist), I build upon metaphorical Babylon with my downCHANTS project while connecting to my Jamaican roots - exposing White Supremacy, Patriarchy, Corporate Greed and any other normalized isms that contributes to the Climate Crisis we now face. 🙌🏽💯 The majority of the short-form songs were produced by Charles “BLVK Samurai” Burchell @blvkbeats 🌹🌹🌹 This album was made possible by Creative Wildfire - a collective action involving artists from across the country and made possible by frontline communities.
