Interview de FAIM

Yesterday, during your set at Fluff Fest, you said something like how it’s not just about what we read or what we say on stage, but also we need to shut up and listen to other people’s voices. To those people and communities who are the most affected but are not part of our own privileged group. Can you elaborate on that ?

Chris : I will readily admit that when I was younger I took up a lot of space. I think a lot of people like me—white, cis-gender men—took up a lot of space in the activist circles. So one thing I’ve learned and try to take in—is that there’s a lot of people who are affected, who we claim we stand in solidarity with, that are already doing the work.

So I think what’s really important is that we don’t have to reinvent the wheel because people are already doing the work. So at a certain point we just really have to shut up and listen to what other people who are struggling have been saying.

We should find a way to support them without the need to control it. It’s about some kind of democratizing the struggle, we need to provide support not control. This is something that I’ve been trying to work on and it could come in different ways. Like sitting and not saying anything unless someone specifically ask you, or even finding ways to do the background labor, like filling out spreadsheets or doing the mail stuff. And I think punk and hardcore is really a great place to find about all the struggles that need our solidarity.

Kat : I was actually having a conversation with a friend earlier, who had heard somebody speak and he kinda said, you know, “I don’t see gender,” and that’s like “I don’t see color,” where it’s really easy to do that as a cis-man who says I don’t see gender, when on a day-to-day basis women live with being a woman. As a teacher, I see teachers I work with who are like, oh, I’m a colorblind, I don’t see color. Okay, maybe for you that’s your way to be like “I love every child for who they are,” but it’s firstly taking away their kind of individuality, which is a very important part of them—our gender is important to who we are ; our color, our race is important to who we are. And second, it’s kind of taking away the fact that you don’t understand somebody else’s struggle. So I think we have a responsibility as cis-men or white people to really be allies to those who are oppressed in different ways.

That can be through shutting up and listening, it can be through somebody who is non-white saying “I need you to read this,” or “we’ve done this work, I need you to do it now.” We have a really important job of being allies to those who are being oppressed in different ways.
