season three - episode seven

In episode seven of season three *, Anuradha Vikram, the first in her family to be born in the US, speaks with her mother Dr. Revathi Vikram, a Naturalized Citizen from India, and her 9 year old daughter Nadja Vikram Bugaj, about how 9/11 shifted the South Asian-American role in racial politics and activism and what Kamala Harris’ nomination for Vice President of the United States means to them. We Are All Americans is a podcast series Inspired by the fact that my Russian great-grandfather gained his US citizenship after serving in the US Army and my Lithuanian (or Austrian, or Russian, or Latvian - depending on who is telling the story) great-grandmother entered the US on fake passport. Each episode is a different recorded conversations about how family stories are passed down from generation to generation and what it means to be American in the contexts of multiculturalism, immigration, military service, black lives matter, white privilege, and indigeneity. *Recorded on Aug. 21, 2020 at the ICA LA as part of Field Workshop: Action Projects, in the midst of the global COVID 19 pandemic and the reinvigorated Black Lives Matter movement after the murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd.
