about

DISMEMBERED + UNARMED

Dismembered and Unarmed is a collaborative album executive produced by Chaka Mkali and Resmaa Menakem. The album was created in conjunction with Menakem’s book My Grandmother’s Hands as a way to engage a larger audience.

Dismembered + Unarmed features 30+ prominent musicians from the Twin Cities reflecting on intergenerational trauma, healing, and the realities of America’s current racialized divide.

The first 3 free single releases April 30-June 14, 2018 and the full digital album and vinyl combo pack on June 15th, 2018.

------------------

The Creation of My Grandmother’s Hands and Dismembered + Unarmed

The body is where our instincts reside and where we fight, flee, or freeze. My Grandmother’s Hands is a call to action for Americans to recognize that racism is not about the head, but about the body. My Grandmother’s Hands introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched racialized divide.

From the start of the writing of this book we had a conceptualization that this needed to be a multi-sensory experience that incorporated sound, vibration, sight, image, and thought.

We wanted to provide people with multiple access points to this work. The first person to get involved was executive producer Chaka Mkali/I Self Devine, because he is a multi talented artist he understood the heart of this project right away and ran with it. He brought in Lioness, Jake Virden, Brother Ali, and many other producers and artists.

This book was written out of love and collaboration. The book could not have been written without the help and challenge of others. For years we have wanted to do some artistic work with Chaka and other musicians. When we shared with them the content of the book, they immediately wanted to do music for it. We are humbled by their time and dedication. May the ancestors be pleased by our work and efforts.
