Episode 11: this fragile petal, earth

Episode #11: this fragile petal, earth

Comrades, Lovers, Friends and Kin;

Hard times call for healing vibrations, reinvention and resilience. Welcome to Republic of Love: art, cultural resistance and sacred mysticism.  On the airwaves from Toronto - Huron-Wendat, 6 Nations, 3 Fires Territory or, "the City of Living Corpses" as Emma Goldman liked to say.

We're live on-air monthly on the new moon with reviews, panels, readings and music centred on radical culture and prophecy from here at home, and around the planet.

Tune into episode #11, for a show devoted to return in all its depths and multitudes: Earth's birthday, fall equinox, and the brutal seeking that so many migrants from the Middle East are facing. In this month of repair and redemption, The Republic of Love is holding space for the fragility of our spaceship earth, our lovable alien hearts and the little flying souls that circle and re-circle. All the pain and all the elation our human bodies can handle, one hand in the other.

We'll be celebrating the Jewish high holy days with an inspired Haftarah creation by Kohenet Shoshana Bricklan; civil servant, crocheter of vulvas and singer of prophecy. We'll be feeling into the grief, confusion and great loss of the recent murder of artist Nadia Vera in Mexico alongside 4 other artists and cultural workers with an interview with a friend and colleague of Nadia's. Finally, we'll be weaving readings from Olie Stephano's fabulous, poetic 'zine, Star Frosting with the music of electronic wizards Sam Shalabi and Stefan Cristoff. As always, expect mystical musings from your humble host-Priestess, Radiodress.
