What’s the relationship between the eternal hum of the oceanic beloved and the persistence of vorticity in fluid dynamics? And how does Alice Coltrane’s harp help us stay there?

A conversation of intergenerational trans-resistance and anti-racist fierceness between two of the most inspiring public speakers we know.
