And it's still the breakfast on Plus TV Africa. Chris Kende Wando is with us this morning. He joins us via phone. Chris is good to have you join us. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. How are you this morning? Very well, Chris. Thank you very much for your time. All right. Chris is an executive director of African Governance and Leadership Initiative. We're set up with the punch, Chris. The punch says, Buhari's Kano visit, protesting barricade roads and stone helicopter. That's a conversation I and Kofi had. Nigerians don't appreciate what they have, says Buhari, as protesters rampage, firing elements using Boko Haram to destabilize Niger. President insists APC campaign council kicks as PDP blames Chernobyl, Gandu J4 attacks. New narrow, racketeering booms in Lagos, Abuja, Anambra, DSSRS unauthorized dealers, PRS operators, hike charges. And just before we move away now, you find panickers, Lagos hoodlums in veiled school and chased poop holes. That's it this morning on the punch. Let's quickly move over to the next newspaper on our list. Of course, take a few of those headlines. And then we go over to Chris, Kendi, and Wando. All right. Headlines on the front page of the nation newspaper. Banks fail to dispense cash in halls, ATM terminals. Banks fail to dispense cash in halls, ATM terminals. PRS operators, hawkers sell narrow notes in cities. Mayfield is action political, says reps leader. Protesters raise, protesters raise APC office, Tinibu Shatima Oshun center. Tinibu, will we use oil to develop a quiet bomb state or some headlines on the front page of the nation? Well, let's quickly turn our attention from, you know, the nation newspaper this morning and look at the Guardian. The Guardian says Nigeria must not fail with 2023 polls UN scribe warns and charges MBA to ensure success of general elections. MBA apologizes to Nigerians for neglecting the role. Polls must hold a shadow if any fair insist. Once against use of court to abort exercise, EU deploys 100 observers to monitor elections. Sharia council, if you had stage or staggered polls may instigate violence. INEC must pass confidence test, tackle underage voting and vote buying. That's it. I just take one and then we'll move away. Desperate extension, Nigerians can't withdraw old or new notes. There's no money. Let's sit on the Guardian. And the last one we have on our table this morning is a Nigerian Tribune PDP APC fight over Buhari's visit to Kano as a lead one there. Ojo Legba breach accident, Sao Lu directs trial of truck owner driver. Artico grant Kano unconditional release if elected president. DSS intercepts syndicate, selling new currency notes, bank officials implicated and only military aircraft can land in AQT airport according to the government of that state. We'll bring Chris at this point. Chris, good morning to you once again. I'd like us to start with a Naira story.  The Tribune gives us some information. One of the articles there on the front page talking about the Department of State Services or Security Services selling the new intercepting syndicates, selling the new currency and the same bank officials have implicated. We want to connect that with what the nation has on its front page. Banks fail to dispense cash in halls, ATM terminals. What are your thoughts on this, Chris? Well, probably the DHHC train the first time. For Nigerians who are used to selling off Naira, new Naira notes, it has been going on for years, not just with Naira notes. But we may see if you are a regular attendee at various parties in town, we see that it does to the interest of those parties. You see people holding new Naira notes when you can't enough of them to buy. When you are interested in bringing them to you to buy, I may strike off, sometimes they say 1,000 Naira should be 1,000 Naira 3, 3,300 Naira. I want you to ask myself, why should I pay 3,000 Naira or 1,000 Naira per year? So, but we know our people and the way they rule and our mentality. But that is even at the end of the day. You might also have seen on social media, where bills and bills of this Naira, they have cars, the bank etm's and the bank halls. You see people throwing bills and bills on and throwing people with that, throwing it up and capturing everywhere. It's all about social media. So, if the DSS are just working out to cover this, well, how will I go better? If you don't see them, they can do anything. So, because this, and this is where I tend to have this particular bank, because that the bank won't lay in some panky-panky with these Naira notes. Because definitely, a few years later, don't go to the bank to collect these Naira notes. They go to the bank, and for what I had, the bank officials give this money to these holders, yes, those that go around to the bank, and they collect their notes. So, that is what is happening. And then, you see, with the 10-day special for the old Naira notes, I've said that the problem is about the old Naira notes. So, it's having the new Naira notes. I've told you that I don't want to collect a thousand Naira notes or 2,000 Naira notes. I've told you that I'm giving points to you. The problem is that, then we can also, practically all the etm's and the bank have shut down. Yesterday, I went to a bank, see, of them, and I couldn't start the queue. So, I didn't even wait, and that has been the situation. Now, we're also having here in the Naira notes, because somebody has given the Naira notes to the bank, not to distance the new Naira notes. That's the 500, 200, and 1,000 Naira notes. So, it's a concern that many people come to collect money to just give them the old 100 Naira, 50 Naira, or 20 Naira notes. I don't know how that is going to work. Chris, I'd like you to still, you know, talk on this. It's on the Guardian. We're still talking about the Naira notes and all of the saga. I mean, despite the extension, Nigerians can't withdraw old and new notes. The banks are not giving money out, whether it's the old money or the new one, the etm's. I mean, money is scarce. So, can the DSS still address this issue, or do we need the CBN, you know, to ask? The DSS cannot address this issue. I just said that I wait about 7.00 a.m. point yesterday. I couldn't make it this far. The few ones that have addressed this issue belong to you. There's no way I can wait to do this. So, the Naira's option now for the POS point, whether or not some of them are also not able to get cash here to their hands. Good Naira notes not. So, Shustin remained the central bank. They've been moving around the bank, they've been moving around the bank to make sure that this morning is a good because central bank said that it's going to set up a passport that would be going to devour the courts of the banks to find out why they are not dispensing, what have been their investigation, how many of the bank managers have been arrested, how many of the bank managers have been charged on to the fact that they will continue to help them all across, that this Naira notes they have to be banned. We are pretty dead. There are be so many excuses.  Just for the bank managers, bring me 100 million Naira to my house and they send the account of the start to board the carriages on the list of new naracals and take it to the courts. If they don't do that, they just check it close up the account and no bank manager wants to hear that a so-called big man close its account. Why the big men are the ones having not used Naira? Two men are women like you and I are the ones suffering the difference. So let's see what goes on with the bill, I think that we can let Naira not be found. All right. Thank you very much, Chris. We go to more of this, the headlines and United Nations is warning through its scribe that Nigeria must not fail with the 2023 polls is what the Guardian is saying. That's Nigerians countdown to the presidential polls in about 25 days time, the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations and the chair on UN Sustainable Group, Ms. Amina J. Mohamed is warned that Nigeria cannot fail with elections. She's a Nigerian and she's speaking on behalf of the United Nations. What are your thoughts on what she's saying? Because she's urging the NB to ensure the success of elections. The United Nations has to tell us the validity for us, which is that the 2023 election is right after. We know that the 2023 election must be after. I want to believe because the vote on that is going to be one of the 3rd and 3rd election I'm going to have in the history of Nigeria. Whether that should be true or not, that's the thing. But I want to believe in. And so for the United Nations, I mean not to say that. I would take it from the point of the United Nations. I'd rather take it from the point of Amina to who is the Nigerian. The former head of one of the NBs, who is not the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations. But we are looking forward hoping that the 2023 election will be as good and credible as it is. And all that depends on several factors. It's up almost to INEG, ability to be able to respond to promises, including the use of the change that they give us, which we have seen recently from the divided of the Electoral Tribunal in Osho. It was as credible as it should be. It was that we are massive, both additional of votes and overvoting. To the extent that over 100,000 votes were deducted from that of the winner of the election, Rob Nadelic, which makes it true for the governor to obtain his victory. If he just wants we have an overvoting of over 100,000, then we cannot imagine what will happen in the general election that is coming up in the next few days. So I hope that INEG has been able to get it outright and make sure that it gives us what we have to, so that we will be able to deliver. Second is going to be on security. And that is where we are going to have issues. I also hope that the Secretary-General has been able to make sure that he has been and carried out measures to protect us and secure us so that we can freely exercise their right as individuals. Then the third one also would be the attitude of the political party. I hope that we can make sure that they are telling their supporters not to resort to violence. And to commit the most important one, the ability of Nigerians, you are going to do the two votes, making sure that we have picked up our PPCs, coming out to other countries. I'm not just running on social media. You see that most of the elites, they just ran for social media, ran for Facebook, Twitter and the rest of them. On the day of election, we were going to have to vote. That's the day we have to be in the room and to watch it in the picture. The mother young man with the nearest display to vote. We have over 19 million Nigerians that have been accredited for this election. Let us come out and make sure that we vote for that. So at the end of this vote, you see that, yes, whatever they are, they want to see it. All right, Chris, we seem to be having not a very smooth connection from your end. We just hope that maybe you can just move around. It's one of those tricks. I'm sure you can get to a point where the network will be favorable. I mean, I'm just saying. So we can hear you clearly. Right. But if you can hear me, I think you should also hear me now. Yes, I can hear you. Sounds clear better than what we had. Buhari's kind of visit protesting youths barricade roads and stone helicopter. I'm sure you have seen this particular story and there are several riders. Nigerians don't appreciate what they have. Says Buhari as protest rampage. I like you to share your thoughts on that. That's on the punch support headline right there. And to become a state governor. What I thought was cheerful, but not on a particular because it should become the map of Nigerians and then some people who are in a larger sense are carrying the strength of the policies of this. I think that people will say it's motivated to be politically motivated, but I think that there will be a strong vote of the president. And it is the real party that is implementing a new kind of thing. So that I thought I would condemn the attack wasn't necessary. No reason should anybody attack for your president is our president. We are thinking about whatever you think about is the president. So that I think is breaking between the APC and the PDT. And so surely there are some of the victims of the PDT have the victory of Buhari and the reaction from the president. My own fear is truly if it touches me most, it meant the president to be. And where he said that foreign nations are behind the attempt to oblige Nigeria through the use of Boko Haram and the rest of them. That is very wasted for me. Who are these foreign nations? Who are these foreign nations? Who wants to disturb last year? For that to become a concentration, it's not a information, which is not a question. And I think it's good to share that. And also say Nigeria, who are these foreign elements? So that we can know who our enemies are and who are those that are trying to supply Nigeria. Not just only not. Those of us who are trying to oblige Nigeria, and security agents will be able to make sure that elements are eliminated. So that we can be able to have our eyes closed twice between. That to me was a thought. And that seems to me the proportion of most of all the problems are indeed in Nigeria. It's that statement that happens in foreign nationals are behind the attempt to oblige Nigeria. That is a would be aggregation. All right. On the front page of the punch, Desani is Alice Maduke is asking the federal government to turn assets seized from her back to her. Well, Desani, Desani. Yeah, sorry, don't forget that several properties, we're going to be able to measure and we are going to go with our program. Our drill is not the point where we are here. That is how the drill is worked on billions and billions of islanders from them. And there are some of the properties that we said, you know, we are going to put here. So if it's to the courts, yes, it's worth it. So effectively, I'm going to say that this issues to a logical contribution and judgment, but if the judgment was given best, she has the right of appeal at the court of appeal and so that's them at the Supreme Court. So probably what she's doing is trying to go on appeal. And I shall be able to contract with the lawyer. We should believe we'll be able to do that. But also, just two weeks back, we have a black situation where overnight, over 40 properties belong here to the OMA deputies in the president, K. Premando, was also profited and also complicated by the court. But we went on appeal and that was marketed. I judge in Africa, we said that he was expected to be in that direction. And those 40 properties were released to K. Premando. So that in the future, most of them, all of them might be some hope that probably issues also are going to be covered in the court of appeal. So that is what I'm saying. I question as to how many years now, how many issues are going to come about in a year. So I'm sure they will be able to do that. I don't know what the question has been done as far on the booting money as it was in the past. Well, I'd like you to respond to the punch new sweeper. I mean, there's a headline. It's very scary. Panic is Lagos hoodlooms.  Invaded school and chased pupils. It was stated that not fewer than 40 hoodlooms had invaded a private school, a Shalom group of schools in Iqpaja, area of Lagos state. And I'm just, you know, trying to wrap my head around that. Well, you can help us understand it. Should this be, you know, a security concern? It's a concern. For a long time, there have not been any kind of, you know, a kind of attitude or emotion of justice here in Lagos. Don't forget that we're at the point where we are. That was very consistent.  And I think we combine a further of this to make it happen. So this support coming in, but I don't have to see this year. It should be a week of fall. I wanted to say that all second this is an officer. It should be already at last. And there are attempts to be met with two of them. So believe that it tells you to me, have the number of police and we're heading towards the nation. This is where the state security officers, like the neighborhood, Lagos, they have a monitoring label. Although the label supports a lot of the statuettes and the initiative is to protect and protect. I don't know if you're now right, but if you're not, I'm using that to protect the acting. But it is not a proper label. The government has to go to the acting label to make sure that the school in Lagos are well protected. So then we can't have this protection. A little to add, sorry to interject, Chris. Just a little add in my help. These land, these hoodlums, like Messi said, they are land grabbers. They want to take the school's land. It's what we're hearing. So it's not like it's not that you say that it's land. They are land grabbers. So let's go to the government and find out what the problem is and what the situation is. That was the value of the land was properly sorted to the owners or the occupiers and so on. If it was not, I think that should be properly investigated by the government so that all active practices will be as serious so that we don't see a recurrence. But at the end of 2020, some of them I won't get caught in the crossfire and what they are doing. I think they got to go to the government and investigate and make sure that they are not caught. All right, Chris, we have to go now. Thank you so much for making our time to be with us. We really do appreciate your time. So if you are messy, do you have sweat? That's comfortable. No, I think I do not want the DSS to look for me. For fuel racketeering. Please, please go to the filling station so that I won't be accused of fuel racketeering. Chris, thank you very much for your time. Let's continue to hope that things will get better while we smile, you know, and things will just get better. Chris, thank you. Have a nice day. All right, Chris Kedewando is the Executive Director of African Governance and Leadership Initiative. We'll do some more talking when we come back messy because we have more interesting conversations ahead and indeed we look at the brain drain situation in the health sector. It's brain drain gain for those of other countries but it's drain brain drain pain for us in Nigeria. Definitely. We'll take a break and be right back.


World No. 1 Ashley Barty saw off-fifth-seated Belarusian Arnein Shablanka in three sets to claim the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix title in Sootholds on Sunday after losing the opener. Barty fought back and took the second to love before wrapping up a 6-0-3 victory with 26 winners for her season-leading third title of the year. It was the Australian's 11th WTA single title of her career and just her second on clay since winning the 2019 French Open.


Welcome to the performance of a farm from Mimi. I am Priscilla Hale, the executive director of ALGO, a queer people of color organization based in Austin, Texas. Our work consists of social justice, cultural arts, and health and wellness programming. ALGO is thrilled to be working again with Virginia Grace on this moving work about the importance of South Central farming, community, and the ways in which art is so necessary and powerful. We congratulate Vicki on the creation of this outstanding work, as well as all the folks who have made it possible. Thank you to Innovations in Socially Distanced Performance at Princeton's Lewis Center for the Arts, the City of Austin Economic Development and Cultural Arts Division, the Alice Kleberg Foundation, Caramia Theater, and a TotalDAR Productions. Thank you for joining us and enjoy the show. Buenas tardes. Soy David Lozano, director, artístico y ejecutivo de Teatro Caramia, un teatro latinex en Dallas, Texas. Es un honor para mí presentar a farm for meme escrito por Virginia Grace y dirigida por Elena Araoz. También es un honor colaborar con ALGO, Organización Queer, POC, que cobre todo Texas. Quiero agradecer a nuestros patrocinadores, la fundación de Andrew W. Mellon y HowlRound Theater Commons por apoyar la nueva residencia que la escritora Virginia Grace tendrá con Caramia por los próximos tres años. Estamos muy emocionados de presentar este primer proyecto de Virginia con Caramia, a farm for meme. Y quiero agradecer también a TotalDAR Productions, Innovations and Social Distance Performance at Princeton's Lewis Center for the Arts por su colaboración y apoyo. Y reconocer a la comunidad del South Central Farm en Los Ángeles, quienes en 1992 se unieron para crear un campo de siembra urbano. Precisamente después de una rebelión contra la policía, como la que se vive en estos momentos. The farm for meme habla sobre la posibilidad de imaginar un nuevo mundo en el momento contemporáneo. Felicidades, Virginia. Tu visión se hace tangible con este primer proyecto. Gracias por colaborar con nosotros y a todos ustedes. Bienvenidos a un farm for meme. Enjoy the show. Desfruten la obra. Remember that's the walnut tree from the story? Oh yeah. What color do you want to do that? You could. You want? What's walnut's look like? They're kind of like brown, like nuts. Are they like brown? Are they like loopholes? But then you can do the leaves like a different color. Nuts of walnut. Mm-hmm. Nuts of these? Mm-hmm. Then you could always do the leaves like the other part of the tree like green. I live in Los Angeles. They say the highest point in the city is in City Terrace, somewhere near Goyo Shao Kui Square. I look for that place when I'm lost. I live near El Tepellac.  I live in a big blue house behind a bamboo fence falling. Backseat of a truck pulled out, turned lawn chair, chickens roaming a cactus garden with a beautiful woman named Vanessa. We call her B. A DJ spins records and poetry, raising three boys. Four, three, and one on prayers and a whole lot of love. In between gigs, she stays home and teaches them how to read. The oldest, we call him Lil Man. And the youngest, we call him Baby. Baby eats everything. If you're not careful, he will eat the food off of your plate. And the other two boys don't like to eat at the same table as him. They blame him for everything. But it doesn't seem to bother Baby one bit. B. and her three boys used to live on the South Central Farm in an encampment trying to save it from the police and the bulldozers. Emanuel, we call him Mehme, once told me that one day he was going to build a farm and that everyone could come and live on his land with their tents. Mehme told me he doesn't like bulldozers. And even though he's only three, he explained to me in an old man's voice that when you pull something out of the ground, it grows back. Don't worry, we're going to plant more things, he said. The extended family that Vanessa has created of rappers, musicians, poets, and DJs. They take turns taking care of the boys and each other. There is always a party outside my window. Cumbias, rancheras, banda, Johnny Cash. I wake up to the sound of roosters in the morning. It all sounds a little crazy, but whenever it gets to be too much, I just go up the stairs and retreat to my bedroom. White clouds painted on the ceiling blue. Like right now, Hellstorm is in the laundry room finishing her tattoo. Her father's homeboy Lupe has a homemade tattoo gun, made the motor of the machine with a walkman held together with rubber bands to keep the needle from jumping. I am amazed by the detail of the three feathers on her neck. He yells at her, I told you not to move, girl. I hit a bang and me. Hellstorm is getting her feathers before she moves to Seattle, where she will play hip hop for Indigenous elders. Drums play on the radio.  The feather of a bird. The kitchen where we all gather is the same color as my grandmother's, green. Two men sell tacos al pastor two for two dollars on the corner of Evergreen. They make them straight out of a sartén and a barril At the streets, you can get a carton of oat milk at the Friendly Market on Blades, where the cholos like to pass the time waiting for the girls to pass by. So we sent Foxy to get our food. Nobody messes with Foxy. On special occasions, we like to treat ourselves to Thai food on Cesar Chavez or Rocky Road ice cream from El Superior. On Monday nights, the Black Nationalist bookstore on the corner gives free classes on how to learn Chinese. It's where grown men talk about grown things, how things used to be and how things ain't the same no more. I walk past them, snatching up bits and pieces of their grown men talk. Ideas everywhere spill out my pockets. Let the stories fall to the ground. Use them to fertilize the soil. Plant tomato plants in the potholes. Plant trees on the sidewalks. Let the roots break open concrete. The chickens in our backyard like to lay their eggs behind the lemon tree. V always wakes up early before anybody else.  She remembers the farm. Sky blue, day clear, a walnut tree. A woman in the walnut tree turned butterfly. A single butterfly flying towards the sun. Flowers everywhere float in a light that changes from blue to yellow to green. The butterfly has finally found a home on the treetops inside a walnut tree. Don't let them bulldoze the trees. Day fades into darkness, interrupted by bursts of light. The night stars, cars, the streets. The moon, close my eyes and dream. Thank you for the sun, for the rain, for today. Take care of our mountains, our rivers. The butterfly in the walnut tree, take care of her. The butterfly is a messenger. The butterfly is a warrior. The butterfly flies over continents, searching for home. She has not eaten in 17 days. She is hungry, but she is strong. She is hungry, but she is home. Home is a farm in south central Los Angeles. Meme, promise me, you'll always remember the farm. Mash the kernels in a metate. 5,000-year-old Oaxacan blue corn. Walk a circle of protection around the house. Throw away barrels and barrels of broken glass so that we can grow. Green amaranth, yerba-wena, chayote. Eat the fruit, turn the root to tea. Alache and chipilín, purple flowers, rich legumes. We didn't learn this in school, how to turn the guayaba leaf into medicine. What day to plant the yerba-mora? How to mix the malabar gourd with honey? Make palenquetas. Know where the sun sets and rises, where the mountains are. In what direction is the ocean? Gempasuchi, orange and yellow maricolds. Welcome, nuestros antepasados. Our ancestors first showed us how to work with the land, with our hands, so that we could have something to call our own. Fourteen acres of farmland in the middle of south-central Los Angeles after the riots. The first thing that grew was the cactus. One of the siete guerrilleros, Nopal, is strong and independent. Then the other plants grew too. In January, avocados, bananas, and cabbage grew. In February, mushroom, squash, and mangoes grew. In March, artichokes and grapefruits grew. In April, radishes, pineapple, and spinach grew. We planted those that had always lived there, and those that had just arrived. We prayed for the farm, and it grew. On the corner of Forty First and Alameda, we created something, something we could call our own. We learned how to work with the land, and each other. Then came their bulldozers. Sun, hot, hits the asphalt, black, the bulldozers tore down the fence to the farm, uprooted the plants. Rows and rows of cabbage, carrots, beets, aguayaba trees, avocados, tamarindo, vines, bearing huge pumpkins, chayote, a loquat tree, maize, until the farm was just an empty lot, except for the walnut tree. It's illegal to kill walnut trees in Los Angeles. Meme knows the word for police, for bulldozers, the word for helicopters, but Meme remembers the farm. He knows what quempasuchis is, knows the word for sweet potato and pumpkin in Spanish, gamote y calabaza. Meme knows the difference between rosemary and mint. In Meme's eyes, I see the butterfly. In Meme's eyes, I see the walnut tree. I see light. In Meme's eyes, I see love. Don't worry, we're going to plant more things. When you pull something out of the ground, it grows back. Meme is learning capoeira at the community gardens in East LA. He's trying to decide if he wants to be a ninja or a warrior, changing his bandana from face to head. I tell him he could be both. He insists that's impossible and takes off his bandana and decides that he's going to sew all his bandanas together to make a kite stretched across bamboo sticks. Meme knows how to make tights that fly in the sky. One day, he too will soar above the treetops.  Even after the bulldozers came and tore down the farm, and the bananas still grow. My name is Sharon Bridgeforth and it's my great privilege to be in conversation with you here. We invite you to put your questions and your comments in the chat. And I invite you to, in our virtual way, just give energy of gratitude and light to Marlene, to our interpreters, to the puppeteers, and to everyone that was involved in bringing this work to us. I want to honor the kids, also known as the Tongva people, who are indigenous to the land that inspired a farm from Meme. And I invite us to breathe into honoring the indigenous people of all the lands where we are. And our ancestors of light and progress, whose blood and vision we stand in. And as I invite Vicki and Elena to join me, I want to acknowledge that this work is made of tears. It's made of visioning, mythology, dreams, desired futures and paths. It's rooted in traditions of storytelling that is prayer and prophecy. And so Elena and Vicki, please join in.  It's coding. This was ceremony. And I thank you. And I'd love to hear both of you speak about your process with this work and each other. And Vicki, if you can start by giving us some context for this piece and its history. When I first moved to Los Angeles was when I went to graduate school in 2006. And I happened to land in this big blue house in East Los Angeles with a group of incredible women. I was renting a room in this house with Vanessa and all of the children and Hailstorm who somehow also lived there too. And I learned so much from them. And I think that one of the biggest things that I learned is what it meant to raise a family in community. And so the kids really were raised by a community of folks. And I made me really think about how we're raising, especially our boys, what future and how are we raising our boys so that they don't replicate old ways of being in the world. And I think that Vanessa is a single mother and the community that supported her really were trying to do that. And so I originally wrote some seeds of this then when I lived in the house. And then when COVID hit and everything was canceled and everything was put on hold in terms of theater. I was just about to begin a residency both at Caramilla Theater which is a three year long residency and at Algo which is a year long residency. And I fell out like a lot of people. I lost a lot of my work in 24 hours of time. And I went into a process of real grieving. I was sad for a very long time. I was alone and solitary. And just allowed that to be true. And the first thing that I did actually Sharon was to call you and say I want to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing right now. What is my job not as a theater artist, but what is my job as an artist as a person in this world? What is my job right now? And you really encouraged me to stay in the place of curiosity and exploration and love. Always love is always centered to your practice. And so in the middle of beginning this residency I started by planting. And so we started my partner and I did these huge garden beds in the backyard. I shoveled a whole lot of dirt. I planted a whole lot of plants and revisited this piece and started to think about it as a coloring book initially. And so what I love about this text is that it's four pages of text and we're imagining it in all these different ways. One of which is a coloring book because I wanted kids to have something to do when they're at home, if they couldn't leave. And I wanted what they had to do to be from a place of just imagination of making things completely with what they had at the house. And so while I was working on the coloring book with Mel Dominguez who is in Tucson, Arizona, an artist in Tucson, Elena started doing these experiments from her house with handmade objects and puppets. And so I sent her the text and I said, do you think that maybe we could turn this into a theater piece or into a show? And she said, well, let's try. And then she got this incredible group of students to join her and Marlene. And the first question that she asked them and I'll let her take over was how do you grow something with just what you have in the house? And so everything that people are using as the puppeteers are things that they had in their home, construction paper, light, measuring tape. And we began to grow the piece from there. Beautiful. Yeah, it's interesting. I feel like theater separates itself from film and other recorded media in a couple of ways. But one in which one way I think the way that I've come to really learn through this process with the piece is that theater doesn't give you everything and it invites you to use your imagination. And theater makes something from nothing. On stage, we literally only have our bodies, our voices and our imaginations. And then maybe we've got some design around us. And at the same time, I was inspired by that kind of feeling of the body to how do we put of the body on film? And how do we also put nature on film? Well, one way would have been for me to take my camera and bring it to a garden and show you some pretty flowers and some beautiful vegetables. But I wanted to really think about what is theatrical in this? What is how can we inspire everybody to create nature inside and create nature from nothing in the same way that the farm that this is based on was is in the middle of a green desert. There's not a whole lot of greenery around there. There's not a lot of parks. There's not a lot of places for that sort of refuge. And then to, for these people to take an empty lot and grow this four acre farm that was feeding massive communities, I thought was 14 acres. Yeah, 14 acres. Yeah. And so making nature, making beauty, making sustenance out of nothing was kind of the impetus of this. So as opposed to trying to give you the reality of the situation or filming the farm, we decided to actually bring community together, these communities. There's so many supporters and sponsors and artists working on this from radically different places and communities and countries that just bringing them together and saying, okay, only using what is inside your home, how do you make nature grow and bloom? And then pulling all of those ideas together.  It's the only thing that's recorded, I wanted to say, is the archival footage by Claudia Mercado and Maceo Edwards who was coloring the coloring pages. And the only reason we recorded Maceo's sections is just because he was so young. Everything else was performed live. And where do you all see yourselves going with this piece or with other work together or not? You know, it's so funny because this morning we were, I was thinking about how hard it is to be at the whims of Wi-Fi in the theater world. We're always at the whim of something that's uncontrollable and uncontrollable.  And there's something exciting in that and terrifying in that and it makes you really give yourself up to what you can't control. And I have found it so freeing. And so I was actually thinking, I was like, oh, I got to call vikings. We got to figure out what's the next piece we're going to do in this virtual way as a way to hopefully inspire us and innovate our way of thinking, bring in more experimentation. So hopefully we can bring it back to the theater that kind of experimental freedom that we're feeling right now because the stakes don't feel so high for some bizarre reason and bring that back into the theater when we can gather again. Something that I think is true of this moment is that I feel like at some level, as an artist, people are really asking the question, how do we support you? And so when I gave the artistic director of Gotta Mia four pages of A Farm for Mime, what he asked me was, how do I support this work? And what do you need from the theater? And my immediate response was, I want my three-year residency. I want a vacant lot. I want to use the next three years of my residency to actually create theater on a vacant lot, to build something there in community with folks and to make something together. And I would love it if in three years from now, we can actually go back and revisit this piece together and see what we're able to do in that time. But I think that now is really the time, especially as artists, that we are actively engaged in not just the symbolic making of new worlds, but the material making of what does it mean to imagine something that's possible. I never would have imagined we would be having a national conversation about defunding the police in my lifetime. I never imagined that. And it has made me realize that as an artist, I want abolition to be at the forefront of everything that I do. I want our people out of cages, out of prisons, out of detention centers. I want us to be free. And I want all of my work to reflect that desire and work towards that goal. That's a perfect place to end this conversation. Of course, we could talk for a long, long time, but due to the constraints of our time here and the programming that's coming up, we need to end. And that's the word. So may it be so, may we make it so, may we dream it so, may we pray it so, may we pour a little of our blood in it so that it will be. Thank you all. Appreciate you. Thank you, Sharon.


How to make a water xylophone! How to make a water xylophone! How to make a water xylophone! Out of water and glasses, let me show you how to make one so you can play too! First you need water and glasses. It's important that all the glasses are the same size.  The less water there is in the cup, the higher the note is. The more water there is in the cup, the lower the note is. Now this is going to be the lowest note because it has the most water. try the difference between this cup and this cup. You see the difference? Now let's try it between this one and this one. You see the difference there? Now let's try between this one and this one. Let's add them all together. So then you keep experimenting until you have the sounds you want. Now I'm going to use some food coloring just to make it colorful. The color doesn't really affect the sound but it just makes it pretty. My favorite color is either blue or pink. Now let's test it out. That's how you make a water xylophone. First ever water xylophone concert in the world presenting dun dun dun.

What's it for all? What was that? This next scene will leave you stratified in the end. What no horrible CG. What's that?

So check out ToyHacks.com and make your collection stand out from the rest. And tell them Patriot Prime sent you. The featured bot in this video is the BW11 Mad Panther Warrior, a bootleg masterpiece cheetor that I just got in from Shoseastore.com. This name cracks me up in a couple of ways. Mad Panther Warrior sounds like a cheap cologne that I used to wear back in the 90's when I was clubbing. And plus, it's cheetor. He's a cheetah, not a panther. And it's also called the Boutique Model, which also sounds like a cheap cologne or perfume, boutique model. So that is just, it's funny. But take a quick look at the packaging. We've got the Mad Panther Warrior there in cheetah mode and in robot mode, side of the box. Mad Panther Warrior with the cat eyes, the same here on top and the other side. Back of the packaging shows the Mad Panther Warrior in a variety of poses both in robot and cheetah mode. So now, without further ado, don't forget to like, don't forget to subscribe, and let's get this Mad Panther Warrior who I'm going to call cheetor for the rest review out of this packaging and check him out. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. Now first off, I want to apologize if you're hearing my air conditioner running in the background. It is like 400 degrees in my upstairs office here at the house. I had to turn that thing on because it is miserable up here. So anyway, once you get cheetor all opened up and out of the packaging, you'll see he does come with two different cheetah head sculpts.  And those are actually really well detailed and I love the fiber optic whiskers he has. Those are really cool. We'll get into those more later on. He also comes with two different robot faces. And as you can see, they got some great light piping. We'll take a look at those later on as well. And he's got two communicators, one for cheetah mode, one for robot mode. And these look really good, very detailed, though I do wish they had some paint in the center because in the show, they were green in the middle. But it's still pretty cool. And I will show you how they attach to cheetor right here. He's got, if you look right there, there's a little slot on his upper arm. Just get that on there, peg it in place if I can find the slot. So there you go. You've got cheetor with his communicator on his arm. So a nice little option if you wish to display it that way. Now I want to stress that I do not own an original masterpiece cheetor. So I'm going in on this figure fresh, nothing to compare it with. This is my first time experiencing any type of masterpiece cheetor. And I must say this one looks really, really good. Lots of great detail all over, though you do see a lot of robot mode with the cheetah. But I think that's every cheetor that's ever been put out that just he suffers in beast mode. But taking a close look at the face, he's spot on to how he looked on the show. I dig it. The mouth can open and close and like I said, I really like the fiber optic whiskers. I don't know how long those will survive during transformations, but it's still pretty cool. And I just, I love the details on it. Taking a closer look at the spots, the spots can to have a digitized look to them. And from what I understand, that's so it matches the animation of the television show. So that's not my camera. That's the way the spots look. Great coloring all around. I love the white and spots there for the stomach area that lead up into the lower face. And I mean, he just, he looks good. You know, other than aside from the robot parts and the gaps. Now right here on the back, this section right here detaches into a weapon and it doesn't really peg in really tight. If you look right there, you can see a tab. It's supposed to slot in right there, but it just does not. So you mess with it. It's going to pop off. Now this cheetah mode has lots of pose ability. The arms can go out. They can go in, it will separate at the shoulder if you're not careful. There is a bend at the elbow. There is a bend there at the paw. It can rotate. The head can rotate around though. It's a little loose. So you try to pose him up like that. It will drop down if you fool with it too much. The jaw can open and close. The head can rotate. It can look side to side. Here on the back legs, they can go out. Very tight. They can go in. There is a knee bend. There is an ankle bend. There is a little foot pivot. The tail here can wag, though when you move it, it looks like it's broken, but still pretty good. Not bad at all. Now let's go into these different faces. This is your basic Cheetor face. Looks really good. Let's say open it up. Great pain applications. You can see the pink there inside the mouth and the teeth.   Let's do the snarky head. Peg that in. So you've got that going on. Now one thing I've noticed with these head sculpts is some of the eyes don't look right. It's centered real good. I think the worst one is the scared head. It looks like one eyeball is looking down, the other one is straight at you. It looks like he took a whack on the head. But you can actually switch the eyes out. You get right in here inside the head, get your thumbnail in. You can pull the eyes out and switch with another. So let's go ahead and do this one, see if it makes a big difference here. Yeah, that looks terrible. So yeah, the eyes, they could be better, at least on the scared face. The snarky face here and the regular Cheetor head doesn't look bad at all. Gonna put those eyes back in this one. So another neat option that you can do, go ahead and peg that head back in. See, it's on a peg right here, but that swivels around. So it's kind of hard to line up just right. So that's pretty much it for Cheetor in his Cheetah mode. Let's go ahead and getting transformed into robot mode. And the first thing we're going to do is this section right here that I was talking about, you're going to pull this off. This transforms into his gun. Let me show you how this pegs in real quick. This gold part pegs in here. And as I showed earlier, there's a little tab that's supposed to tab in right there. It just doesn't happen with mine. So to transform this into his blaster, take this gold section, bring it up, then rotate it around. And then you're going to take the tail, fold it up and under. And there is a little hole right there that you'll match up to that peg. Slide that in, bring these panels up and over. And you can rotate these out of the way. That makes a little shield. Get that folded back. So now you have his tail blaster, a nice throwback to the original Generation 1 toy. And speaking of Generation 1 toy, or excuse me, his original toy. Let me go ahead and put this together real quick because I actually brought out the Generation 1 or original Beast Wars figure to compare him to in Cheetah mode. So there is your mad Panther warrior with the original Beast Wars Cheetah. This isn't the Walmart reissue. That is the original one right there. And then we have the Netflix Kingdom Cheetah. So this one's got a lot of good size on it.  We'll continue on with transformation. Next thing we'll do is right here, there is his gut gun. You want to go ahead and just pull that out. It pegs in. There's a little slot right there that lines up to that peg right there on top. And how you transform this is you just open it up right here, bring the barrel out. And it's kind of got a little catch right here. So you want to be very careful. Snap that into place. You've got the handle you want to pull out right here. And there is the gut gun. Something I forgot to show on this blaster here. Quickly transform this back. It also has a handle right there. Go ahead and push this down if I can get it. If all else fails, you bring in your spudger. It's always important to have your spudger. So bring the handle down. Bring this up and over. And it's actually got two slots I forgot to show off. One slot right there for the handle. The other, the little peg. And there we go. And like I said, we'll come back to the weapons later on. So now let's go ahead and finish robot mode here. We're going to extend the legs all the way out. Take the back leg Cheetah paws. Bring those down and just fold those into the leg like so. Bring the foot down. And flip out the heel spur. So once you bring this down, you've got this little panel here. Just close that up completely forming the robot shin. Go ahead and do the same for the other side. And make sure you get this all the way down because you've got those little spikes right there. Get those out of the way so you can fold the other little spikes around. So there we go. Go ahead and bring this panel down and rotate the waist. And right here at the legs, bring the leg around because you want to make sure the gold section is facing forward. Bring that over and around. And there we go. So that more or less takes care of the legs and how you know you've got the legs right. The ankles will tilt in like they're supposed to. Now, you're going to take the Cheetah shoulders, just move those up out of the way, push the head back so you release this section here and going back to the head. Make sure that is all the way collapsed in like so. Open up the arms. Bring these all the way out and around. Take this little blue section here. Bring this out all the way.  Let me see. Because you're going to fold the Cheetah head into this gap. And what you really want to watch out for is those whiskers. So you're going to go ahead and collapse all of this in. So it is a mess. This is actually the joints are really tight on this. So I want to make sure I'm not really, I don't want to overstress anything. But right here on the back, you've got this little section here connected to the neck. Make sure that is pressed down flat against the inside section here. You've got Cheetor, actually I lucked out. See how the whiskers folded up inside the chest? You want that happening there and then just collapse all this on top of each other. Make sure this little blue section here, it's got a little tab right there. That you want to make sure it tabs in right below Cheetor's neck. This was kind of a pain for me. I get to line up just right. And I can't get it. Okay, now that I've got the head section tapped in, we're going to go back down here to the waist. And I was wrong here with rotating this around. Because what you want to do, let me go ahead and rotate this back is you've got this little section right here. These are going to unpeg this section right here behind him at the hips. You're going to unpeg that and rotate that section around. And then you've got that little slot that's going to line up with that little peg right there. Line that up and snap that into place just like so. And of course the legs are already in the right position where I had those turned already. Then you're going to take his little loin claw thing, slide that back or push it into the body and just rest it right there on his crotch. And now what we're going to do is flip the shoulders around here. And on the back of the figure, you're going to see these slots right there. They're going to line up to the slots here. So you've got tabs and slots. Get that lined up, get those in place. Get the other one in place. There we go. Now on the back, what you're going to do is you've got the cheetah legs. And let's see how these work. You've got this one that's got a peg sticking out right there. You're going to rotate this one around so the peg is facing the back of the figure and you're going to match it up to the hole in this leg and just peg those together kind of in a crisscross, which is very show accurate. And of course that unpags everything else on the back. Let me get that cleaned up. There we go, almost there. Now here for the forearms, you're going to take these panels and just swing these down and back over the arm. There is a slot right there that is going to line up with a peg on the forearm. Go ahead and get that slotted into place. You know, for a bootleg figure messing around with this guy, I'm not really afraid of breaking him because the plastic quality feels really good. Let's get that lined up, get that in place there. You don't take these shoulders, kind of bring these up. And that is one problem I have with this figure is the little shoulder sections here. They do not really want to lock into place at all. You just kind of bring them in. Wait a second, let's rotate the shoulder around. We'll hide that screw hole. Now let's see. Trying to see, I wonder. Now if I thought I could rotate that around, but that's not going to happen. So the shoulders, not a big fan of those shoulder joints. They just don't hold really good. But anyway, there you go. There is Cheetor in robot mode. Stand up for me, buddy. So robot mode isn't too bad. I mean, he looks like Cheetor. Even got the maximal symbol right there on the forehead. Great paint applications all over. He's got the little discs inside the shoulders. Got some nice paint applications inside those shoulder pylons as well. I mean, I could clean him up a little bit better. This is actually my first time really fooling with the robot mode. I wanted to save everything for the review for my first impressions. And first impressions are decent. I just, I wish the shoulders would lock in place. Maybe if I could just kind of manipulate that somehow. Of course, once I get him posed, he's going on the shelf. It's probably not going to be a big issue whatsoever. But I wish those would lock in. And there's just no way, I don't see any way that they can do it. So, kind of a bummer there. Now articulation, Cheetor's head is on a hinge so he can look way up. His head can rotate side to side and it's got a little bit of a ball joint so he can kind of look around a little bit. He's got a faux cheetah face there for the chest. Arms can rotate at the shoulder. They can bend at the elbow, rotate at the bicep. There is a wrist rotation and finger articulation. So that's really cool. Waste rotation, legs can go out, but they're very tight. They go forward, they can go back. There is a knee bend and as I showed earlier there is an ankle tilt. So lots of great articulation. My biggest complaint, I'm still having problems with it. As you can see is those shoulders. So let's go ahead and get his weaponry. Stand up for me. So we'll take the gut gun first. Let's go ahead and take a look at his hand. It's your typical masterpiece hand. You've got the handle here with the pegs. Just kind of line that up with the slot there on the fist. Wrap the fingers around if I can get it. There we go. So there he is holding the gut gun and I guess if I can get the arm just right here. So there's that. Then we have his other gun and playing around with this guy earlier. The easiest way to position the other gun is go ahead and get the hands opened up, take the tail section, unfold that, put it in his hand and then wrap the tail around. Cause it's kind of hard to get the hand around the tail section. So there he is. And as you can see, it still didn't work. Hold on. And there you go. We've got Cheetor all armed and ready for battle. And of course he does have his little communicator here. You can attach this on his upper bicep just like it was in the television show. And let's go ahead and look at the face sculpts. We do have two extra face sculpts here. Let me bring those out.  I apologize for hitting the camera. And I do believe it does have that great light piping. Get that lamp right behind there. I love that. Always appreciate good light piping. Now to change the faces out, just kind of pull up and out. Got a big old light piping section right there. Love the paint applications on this. Looks really, really good. So there's your basic Cheetor face. Then we have, that looks like his angry face. And then we have, I'm not sure. It just looks, okay, maybe that's just a stern face. Okay, yeah, he doesn't have an open mouth there. That's a stern face, smiley face, and an angry face. So we'll just stick with the regular face and then it attaches. You just slide it right in and there's a little peg right there that catches on the forehead. So there you go. So the BW-11 Mad Panther Warrior, I dig it, he's a pretty decent Cheetor figure. He's got his flaws, especially with the shoulders right there that just will not stay in place. I may take some floor polish or see what I can do to tighten that up, but I'm gonna have him displayed on my shelf in robot mode. So I think he looks pretty awesome. And now for some quick size comparisons, here is the BW-11 Mad Panther Warrior with the original Beast Wars Cheetor, War for Cybertron Trilogy Netflix Cheetor and Kingdom Optimus Primal. The BW-11 Mad Panther Warrior is actually a pretty decent Beast Wars Cheetor. I only have a few complaints with the figure. Cheetor mode looks okay, lot of robot junk showing, lots of gaps showing and I wish the tailgun section would peg in better. Plus he's got some loose joints and those wonky eyes for the Cheetor faces. Robot mode on the other hand looks fantastic. I've got no complaints with robot mode whatsoever aside from those shoulder joints that I wish were a little tighter or would at least clip in. Other than that, I think this Cheetor looks great and it's gonna look awesome up there on my Beast Wars display. So there you go guys, the BW-11 Mad Panther Warrior Boutique Model. So, does a BW-11 Mad Panther Warrior masterpiece Cheetor belong in your collection? Well, if you're a Beast Wars fan or a Cheetor fan, absolutely, I love this guy. He is much better than I was expecting. He's actually really good plastic quality. I had no problem whatsoever transforming him, other than just trying to get some things tabbed into place and that happens with the regular Hasbro releases. As I said in the review early on, it's the Cheetor mode that I think suffers the most. He looks good as far as the face in the front but he's very gappy and you see a lot of the robot parts showing through. Of course, that's the same with any Cheetor that you have but robot mode is spectacular. This figure has all the personality of Cheetor. He looks just like he did in the television show. The only issue I have is with those loose shoulder joints and I think that's something I can easily fix. So yeah, if you're in the market for a masterpiece style Cheetor without the masterpiece price, I'd say pick this guy up. And as I said earlier, I got him from showzstore.com, took about two weeks and I am really impressed. I dig this guy.
