'terminology check 2'

global majority, seabling, swana, f-words, babe

terminology check, part two! language keeps moving, and in this episode we try to catch up with it (a little bit). we sit with a few new-ish terms: global majority, SEAblings, SWANA, and yes, the f word (chill, it’s about us;). we talk about where they came from, how they land on us, and how words shape the way we see saw and see ourselves. we also get into reclaiming slurs, a little indonesian queer grammar lesson from Dira, and why EVERYONE is a ‘babe’ for us. as always, no conclusions, just a reminder to play with words and not take them too seriously :)

we’re currently fighting meta’s unjustified suspension of our accounts!

📻 woke-ish talk

we're Dira & Zilu 🫰🏽 we both have a distant past as media producers back when we were younger: Dira as MTV host and radio announcer in Indonesia, and Zilu as a youth cultural journalist in Nicaragua. life took us in many directions before crossing paths in Berlin (divine timing✨, as we say) and we've now decided to go back to cultural production, now in our own terms, with this radio show in which talk about hot and silly stuff, with heart and in style*

📺 fagomedia

we’re a gang of queer and/or racialised producers reimagining radio, television & printed media. we operate from berlin and are plotting ways to build creative and economic autonomy so that we can reclaim a self-determined representation in media and history
