About this listen

“We need to be shocked into beauty.”


Welcome to the Temporary Autonomous Zone.

In this episode, we discuss being “stuck” in the body, and Hakeem Bey’s concept of Temporary Autonomous Zones: an artistic means of transcending the rules of our current realities. We delve into our relationships with our bodies, their wisdom, and the dangers of overidentification with them. We discuss liberatory tactics such as Poetic Terrorism to disrupt the mundane and shock people into beauty – as well as the burdens that come with being the disruptor. We discuss when to stay and fight, the love and freedom in letting go, and the role forgiveness plays in it all.
