Outsiders: Bop Fantasies - Angel Texts
In the is episode Miles (lil.bluet) tells a story of angels and relations. Drawing upon the poetics and philosophy of Martinique writer Édouard Glissant, Miles explores fruits, anxieties, and paradoxes of cultural hybridity. The concept of hybridity can be considered from many perspectives; the complex genetic roots of nationhood, the grey boundaries between remix culture and appropriation in music, and the force of converging histories that produce our identities and sense of cultural belonging. Hybridity produces life, Hybridity destroys life, Hybridity is a constant of life. If everything we are comes from the other, what nobility, transformations, or harms can be found in upholding the genres we create to protect and gatekeep our sacred cultures.
