Tea Project (Amber Ginsburg & Aaron Hughes), Tracing the Torture Tree | Chicago to Guantánamo | The ecosystem of police and military violence from John Burge and his co-accused to Richard Zuley, 2022. Courtesy of the Tea Project.
Tune in to SJSU’s radio station, 90.5 FM KSJS, on Saturdays at 5pm PT to hear the Tea Project’s podcast “Remaking the Exceptional.” Each episode brings together activists, artists, poets, and torture survivors to investigate connections between policing and incarceration in Chicago and the human rights violations at the US military prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The Tea Project suggests that sitting, sipping, and reflecting over a cup of tea with others can create the space for conversations on difficult and at times painful subjects, but also can create opportunities to envision a new set of social relations.
Listen on 90.5 FM or via TuneIn.
