The struggle for the Breonna Talyor graffiti sculpture. (Ep 2.12)

We talk to Leo Carson an artist from Oakland USA about the dramatic events around the monument he placed to Breonna Taylor. Breonna was killed by police and became a symbolic figure in the  black life's matter movement in the US in 2020. The creation of Leo´s graffiti sculpture has important lessons for artists and activists alike.   Donate to the Breonna Taylor monument project.

Om Podcasten

We explore the relationship between International arts and the class struggle. Interviews, Commentary and audio art. We are Outa-space because artists often lack the place to make and create work. We are Outa-space because the street, the squares, online and all the common places we mix in are where we need to decide our future. We are Outa-space because we need to take our minds above the clouds to look down on our planet, to dream, to wonder, but also to see everything in the context of everything else.
