On the occasion of Knockdown Center's MAMI exhibition and market, Top Rank Podcast co-hosts Marcel Rosa-Salas and Isabel Flower talk intersectional identity with journalists Jenna Wortham (NYT Magazine) and Doreen St. Félix (MTV News), Brujas skate crew leader Arianna Gil, and Bklyn Boihood founder Ryann Holmes. Available here as the Top Rank Podcast’s 4th episode, their conversation addresses the promises and pitfalls of digital media as a tool for social change, the importance of fostering self-affirming environments that prioritize self-care, and, more generally, how Mami Wata’s hybrid identity serves as a framework within which we can question conventional binaries and locate strength in paradox, contradiction, and multiplicity.
