“Speaking Without Permission”

How does language operate under pressure? Rather than focusing on what is said, this episode looks at how speech is shaped, managed, or displaced when legitimacy is controlled.

-

From institutional governance to cultural practice, expression is rarely banned outright. It is formatted, filtered, or redirected.

-

Some voices move within those systems. Others persist outside them. Voices of Protest, Season 2 of Destroy! examines that struggle over expression.

-

Featuring:

-

Aja Monet, the Grammy-nominated surrealist blues poet, organizer, and author of “when the poems do what they do,” whose new album “the color of rain” continues her exploration of resistance, grief, jazz, and collective liberation.

-

Denise Fahmy, founder of Freedom in the Arts and a leading advocate for artistic freedom and the protection of cultural expression under political pressure.
