racial dynamics
Race and power intersect in systems of cultural extraction, exploitation, and representation—particularly in industries like music where marginalized artists' work is appropriated and profited from by dominant groups. These dynamics involve questions of who owns cultural output, who benefits financially, and how historical inequities reproduce themselves in contemporary institutions.

The show treats these as spiritual and material issues intertwined—questioning not just *who* profits, but how systems of extraction reflect deeper imbalances in power, access, and whose voices are centered in cultural narratives.
