Music is resistance too! Listen to "The Art of War" from Eddy Mack
Shades of Anger, August 6, 2024
August 6, 2024
Good morning. Remember that every day is a good day to take action in support of Palestinian liberation.
LEARN. Listen to this album, “The Art of War” from Eddy Mack. If you don’t have time to listen to the entire album, pick three songs (if you can’t choose, listen to “Little Boy,” “My People,” then “Land Is Back”).
The cover of Eddy Mack’s album. A collage painting that is red, white, yellow, green with other colours spread throughout. In the middle is a giant teddy bear holding a key, with other Palestinian symbols and words of resistance in the background.
NOTICE. What emotions did you feel while listening? Did you feel the same or different emotions during each song?
ACT. Let your emotions move you. Decide what action feels right for you today. Take a look at the Shades of Anger archive if you need ideas and inspiration.
SHARE. Forward this to at least five friends and invite them to listen to this album and feel.
ASK. What other types of art or media do you want to learn more about? Please reply to this email (or, if you are reading this online, leave a comment below) to let us know.*
In solidarity for Palestinian liberation,
Rebecca Steckle, on behalf of the Shades of Anger collective
*You can also continue the conversation with us in the Speaking Up Network, a private social media platform co-created by Animah Kosai, one of the leaders of Shades of Anger.
Shades of Anger was created by a global collective of women to raise awareness and inspire action to free Palestine. We chose the name of our collective to honor the poem, “Shades of Anger,” by Palestinian-Canadian poet Rafeef Ziadah. We also believe in liberation for Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, and all places where systems of oppression are causing immense suffering and crushing the life out humans. We are led by women of the Global Majority/BIPOC. Shades of Anger is for everyone who wants to act for liberation and you can learn more about it here.
