with Associate Professor Leonie Pihama ~

The underpinning philosophy that informs my work is that of Kaupapa Māori theory and praxis, central to which is the fundamental principle that as scholars and researchers we have a responsibility to speak to issues of social injustice locally, nationally and internationally.

This presentation will speak to the obligation of academics to take on the role of critic and conscience of society and to engage with activism both academic and community based that works to dismantle racism in Aotearoa in all of its forms.

At the intersection of activism and confectionary delight is none other than Ben & Jerry’s. The company has stood up for everything from climate change to same sex marriage to Black lives matter and defunding the police. And in June 2020, the brand took a bold stance against white supremacy, proving that in business, silence is no longer an option. Host Chris Denson spoke with Head of Global Activism Strategy Christopher Miller and Global Social Mission Officer Dave Rapaport about the realities of being a mission-driven brand and what they’re doing to change their internal culture to reflect the brand's own outward ideals.

Leto 2019 si bomo zapomnili po tem, da se je protestom, akcijam civilne nepokorščine in drugim oblikam podnebnega aktivizma priključilo več ljudi kot kadarkoli prej. Zakaj je pomembno, da svoj čas in energijo vlagamo v informiranje in samoorganizacijo za boj proti globalnemu segrevanju in kapitalističnemu modelu razvoja, ki ga povzroča? Zakaj (še) ni prepozno, da aktivno soustvarimo svet, v kakršnem želimo živeti?

Na naše povabilo se je odzvala dr. Julia Steinberger, profesorica ekološke ekonomike Univerze v Leedsu in ena glavnih avtoric poročila o podnebnih spremembah (IPCC). Pridružila se nam bo v živem video pogovoru o družbeno-okoljskih gibanjih, ekoloških posledicah globalnega razvoja in o tem, kakšne družbeno-ekonomske modele potrebujemo, da vsem zagotovimo dostojno in pomenljivo življenje znotraj planetarnih meja.

A look at the darker side of MrBeast’s philanthropy and the wider philanthrocapitalist model it's a part of. Looking specifically at #teamseas and a partnership with Jennie-O, I attempt to untangle how corporations and conglomerates like Coca-Cola, chemical and oil companies, and big meat monopolies all have a vested interest in financing certain ‘philanthropic’ projects while side-lining others. This is a story that takes some surprising twists and turns, from whitewashing, greenwashing & ‘funwashing’ sponsorships, to illegal price-fixing, an endemic of farmer suicides, and leaked corporate emails to influence charities. Examining the roots and consequences of ‘philanthrocapitalism’ tells us a lot about how lobbying works under modern capitalism. This is a long video, but it’ll be worth it to tell this story properly.

Chapters:

00:00 - MrBeast
03:26 - Preface – American Mythology
07:52 - Chapter 1 – Jimmy the Capitalist
15:12 - Chapter 2 – The Birth of Philanthrocapitalism
27:58 - Chapter 3a – MrBeast’s Philanthropy – Big Meat Conglomerates
39:58 - Chapter 3b – MrBeast’s Philanthropy – #TeamSeas, Coca-cola, etc
52:48 - Chapter 3c – The Clinton Foundation
57:02 - Chapter 4 – Manufacturing Capitalist Mythology
01:09:25 - Chapter 5 – Capitalist Ideology

Join us for a conversation as part of the series Art + Activism, moderated by Bakehouse Executive Director, Cathy Leff and featuring Nadege Green, Director of Community Research and Storytelling at the Community Justice Project (CJP) and Chire Regans (VantaBlack), visual artist, activist, and current Artist-in-Residence at CJP.

The conversation will center around the intersection between art and social justice and how art can be used in the function of community building, amplifying diverse voices, and addressing social issues. Nadege will discuss the role that Community Justice Project plays in educating audiences about the structural inequalities faced by marginalized communities throughout Miami and how artists, like VantaBlack, can be an effective tool in advocating for and amplifying the voices of these communities.

This conversation marks the beginning of a partnership between Bakehouse and CJP, in which Bakehouse will provide ongoing studio space for CJP’s artist residency program and continue working with and learning from CJP, as we aim to deepen our connections to the issues and needs of our neighborhood

About the speakers:

Nadege Green is Director of Community Research and Storytelling at the Community Justice Project. She worked as a journalist in Miami for over ten years investigating how local government policies and actions impact everyday people. Her work centers around using analysis, data and narratives from the directly impacted to address housing inequities, climate justice, and other pressing issues in Miami-Dade County that disproportionately impact black and brown communities. Green believes in the power of teaching community storytelling as a means to educate, problem-solve and heal. She is a frequent lecturer and speaker in academic and community settings around disparities in Miami-Dade, local history and race. Green is a recipient of the Ruth Shack Leadership Award and the Florida ACLU Gene Miller Voice of Freedom Award.

Chire Regans, aka VantaBlack, a proud mother, visual artist, truth-teller, and community advocate, was born in Saint Louis, Missouri and relocated to Miami in the late 1980s. After graduating from Florida A&M University, Chire’s artistic practice focused primarily on portraiture. As societal issues began to weigh heavily on her conscience, the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement pushed Chire's art in the direction of social awareness and change. Chire serves on the Community Relations Board's Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement Committee, works as a Teaching Artist at the Perez Art Museum Miami, and is the Fall 2020 Artist-in-Residence with the Community Justice Project.

Show Notes
1) You can use business for social good.
2) Understand all the stakeholders involved in a system before you try to address a problem in the system. Each stakeholder will have a different need and you need to understand how to best meet these specific needs.
3) Creating impact is an iterative process involving conversations with multiple stakeholders involved in the problem being addressed.
4) Reflect and think about the different forms of capital you are in the process of creating as an organisation which include social capital, financial capital, intellectual capital, material capital, spiritual capital and cultural capital.
5) Use the power of extended networks to solve problems at a local level. A problem addressed in one part of India may be addressed in a different way in another part of India. It is the same when problems are addressed in different countries. You can learn a lot from observing people and organisations that solve the same problems in another context or part of the world.
