Reimagining…
Season 8
Re-evaluating, Re-educating, and Reimagining
Season 8, Introduction
In the two and half years since KSB’s inception, going on eight seasons, the number of transformational guests we’ve welcomed, and the countless KSFam we have been listening in, our time has been spent learning, questioning, and diving into issues that matter to our POC communities. The opportunity to discuss these topics is vital for our communities to share our stories and experiences. But, as we know, our communities can not be limited to a one time listen, episode, or story. We must reevaluate, re-educate, and reimagine what we’ve previously explored. Reimingaing as a practice is what this new season will tap into. As one of our KSB team values is to learn and explore through stories, we are excited to take the KSFam on a journey of reimagining. We are growing, and this season is the practice of that. Reimagining allows us to back and look forward at the same time. Come along and reimagine with us all throughout Season 8.

Nothing About Us Without Us
Season 8, Episode 2
Think of your favorite museum. How is the museum layed out? Who or what does the museum give space to? What is exhibited? Where are said items from and how were they obtained? War, violence, and theft underlie the history of museums in addition to the artifacts that lie within them — a colonial undercurrent that is only beginning to be addressed in the present day. In this episode, join Hope and Jon as they discuss cultural repatriation and how black and brown people can reclaim their own narratives in these institutional spaces as they reimagine them with Debra Yepa-Pappan, artist and Native Community Engagement Coordinator at the Field Museum for the Native Truths Exhibition.
