Frantz Zéphirin — Spirit World Capture (acrylic on canvas, 1995)

“Against all sorts of odds, you rise. You win. What victory will you claim next?” — Essex Hemphill

Anchored in and held by the love of Black poets and Sufi mystics, a new episode of Busy Being Black surfaces to make the case that the pursuit of our joy is not optional. And in those moments when we feel hopeless and joyless (and we will), Essex Hemphill has gifted us timeless reminders that our reverence for what we love is precisely what keeps it—and us—alive.

Podcast Episode · Busy Being Black with Joshua Rivers · 10 March · 55m

#poetry #black podcast #essex hemphill

I was today years old when I was introduced to the work of Frantz Zéphirin. I am rabid with delight, dizzy with enchantment. I could just combust into a million glittery fucking pieces. Of all the art movements, Afro Surrealism burrows into me so fucking deeply. I feel possessed. It is magic, it is incantation, it is me.

I reached out to a priest-friend to ask for guidance on how I develop a spiritual practice: “Pray as you can, not as you feel you ought to.”

"We now know that human transformation does not happen through didacticism or through excessive certitude, but through the playful entertainment of another scripting of reality that may subvert the old given text and its interpretation and lead to the embrace of an alternative text and its redescription of reality."

[- Walter Brueggemann - "Cadences of Home"]

The Fairy Dance

Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach

busybeingblack

What I love so much about art is the way my spirit responds “yup!” when we encounter art that points to something we know to be true. I can’t always explain it, but as we learn from Hollis and Hillman after Jung, explanation is rarely the point 🧚🏾
