Ep. 109 - Existential Quandaries on Hope, Relationships, & Resistance to American Hegemony ft. CA Davis

BrownTown gets philosophical with return guest CA Davis,
multimedia storyteller and creator of a LATTO Thought, an audio
docuseries revolving around the history of race in America.
Halfway through 2024, the team discusses intimate journeys of
introspection in the context of fractured and generative
interpersonal relationships, current events, and cultural work in
an effort to create a better world. From experimenting with
psychedelics to familial proximity to the military industrial
complex to Black Buddhism, BrownTown and CA unpack the uncertain
future of the American experiment...and their place in it. After
all, “The horrors of the world persist and yet so do we.”
Originally recorded July 2, 2024.

GUEST


CA is, above all else, a storyteller. His mediums range from
filmmaking to sound design, documentaries, composing music, and
essaying, all of which revolve around the history of race in
America as well as broad existential queries and experiences of
human life. Having taken a hiatus from his audio documentary
series, a LATTO Thought, as well as from filmmaking as a whole,
CA is currently rekindling a project about his dad’s and
grandfather’s legacies of being Black in America and their roles
(and benefits) being in the US military.
