Ep. 8: Our Struggles Aren’t Commodities: Smashing Trading Post Activism
From clothing brands capitalizing on movement imagery and slogans to beer labels “benefiting” #MMIWGT2S, when facing cultural appropriation and exploitation of Indigenous identity and struggle, how do we also hold Indigenous artists and non-profits accountable for exploiting our own struggles?
From clothing brands capitalizing on movement imagery and slogans to beer labels “benefiting” #MMIWGT2S, when facing cultural appropriation and exploitation of Indigenous identity and struggle, how do we also hold Indigenous artists and non-profits accountable for exploiting our own struggles? In this show we talk with Tezbah & Remy about our experiences, concerns, and offer some ideas about how to address this trading post activist shitshow.
Note: This conversation is intended for Indigenous audiences.
