Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors joins Jason to talk about the books she’s reading and revisiting, what she prioritizes when the world feels like too much, and her new book, We Make the World: Guided Aesthetics Practices for Art, Power, and Healing.
Patrisse Cullors is the co-author of The New York Times bestseller When They Call You a Terrorist, and an educator, artist, and abolitionist from Los Angeles. She is the co-founder of the Crenshaw Dairy Mart and has been on the frontlines of the abolitionist movement with Black Lives Matter, Justice LA, Dignity and Power Now, and Reform LA jails. Also the founder of The Center For Art and Abolition, Cullors has popularized the term “Abolitionist Aesthetics” to challenge artists to aestheticize abolition.
