Loving the Living of Life, Oakland to España 2009

One:
The Hip Hop community lost one of its aces whether the bulk of us are aware or not. It’s hard to imagine a world without our pioneers or even those who continued to build on our originality, our creativity and our cultural imprint. Our Cultural icons like Michael Jackson, loved the world over and hated at home. Today we lost Grand Master Roc Raida,…. I will not go into his many accomplishments except to say he was the paragon of the famous quote by Grand Master Melle Melle and the Furious Five, … “this is where you got it from.” He was the real deal.

The Baeza Letter: Radical Love for a better education and world

Paulo, Pato and Joe have brought us together in Baeza, a place that has been historically a meeting point for different cultures. For four days, critical educators from all around the world have engaged in dialogue about the importance of the Radical Love that Paulo, Pato and Joe lived and spread. The Paulo and Nita Freire International Project for Critical Pedagogy and the City of Baeza offered us this common space.

Just a note to thank those who participated in the First Annual Baeza Congress.  The glorious nature of the city, the surroundings, the people, and the content allowed us a safe space for discourse not usually found in academic circles.  We spoke of themes not usually aligned with academics...opened up new discussions and created hope for future collaborations. 

The passion exhibited in our conversations and media presentations allowed us to open alternative ways in which to frame and contextualize our work.  Possibly the most important conversations took place over food and drink.  Certainly, the sharing of art and talent on Friday night was also a highlight.

Radical Love: Baeza Congress 2009 Invited Conversation

Posted Mon, 09/28/2009 - 09:22 by Mary Frances Agnello
What does critical pedagogy have to offer our understanding of love? For the Papa of critical pedagogy, Freire, radical love was an enactment of love through social action that seeks to change “unlovely” circumstances for people. He influenced my life in a most dramatic way, as I believe he did the other two honorees of this conference, and probably yours as well. Paulo and Pato and Joe helped us to articulate to ourselves some of the following thoughts:         
  • Who are the downtrodden?
  • Do we love them?
  • Do we wish to commit to social change so that they have opportunities that many take for granted?
  •  Do we as educators act in meaningful ways to engage learners to transform their “unlovely” circumstances?

Thank you to Claire for sharing that song performed by Kev Carmody, John Butler and Paul Kelly.  Those words are going to mean more and more in the coming years, but I think it will always bring me back to Baeza, 2009, and to the incredible group of people I met there.  In our own worlds we are each individually committed to social justice, to change, to our own forms of resistance; but seeing you all come together and being a part of that was inspiring.  Thank you, not only for coming, but for bringing all of your hopeful, passionate and especially loving energy.  I sure did feel the love!
