5 Radical Empathy: A Continuous Score, Act 7-10,
The Mixtapes
P*D*A* references a mixtape, where compilations of music are drawn from numerous sources and transitions/edits are deployed to compose a non-linear narrative arc. Each week in December 2020 a new playlist from Radical Empathy, A Continuous Score, Acts 7-10: The Mixtapes will rift on, borrow from, materialize, collage, and translate the social fabric around us during these precarious times. Woven in between these personal reflections and public desires are Public Service Announcements (PSAs) that serve as sonic beacons, urging vigilance when white supremacist powers amass in the wake of political instability fuelled by post truth politics during this raging pandemic.

Public* Display* of Actions*
Is an anti-fascist platform using performance and speech tactics from street and guerilla theater, agitprop, Speakers' Corners, and political assemblies, to initiate contexts for collective experience, demonstration, and dialogue insisting on vigilance and direct process as a dramaturgical method and approach. P*D*A* Is in its current manifestation excited by the potential of radical empathy as an imaginative prism. A prism creating a spectrum of possibilities to find new tools of action and awareness. How can the visual and performative literacy of art be shared and used collectively among artists, activists, researchers, and the general public to navigate the swiftly changing social and political climate?
