Ep 5: Una Osato
Listen now
Description
Una Osato grew up in New York City in the 1980s, where art and protest were part of the fabric of daily life. Una found early success as a child performer, but her art later brought her outside of the mainstream, and into the world of radical burlesque. She’s a co-founder of brASS Burlesque (brown radical ass burlesque), a multi-disciplinary performance troupe from NYC. Una is active in the New York City chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace, where she draws inspiration from the lineage of internationalist anti-Zionist Jews to fight for Palestinian human rights. Una uses her art to bring joy to political actions. This episode of Protest & Survive was produced by Sophia Steinert-Evoy.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/protest-and-survive/support
