Namakula's career was derailed by the entertainment industry's COVID mandates. Now she's fighting back by running to be the NY president of SAG-AFTRA. Victory, however, may require exposing shocking levels of corruption within the union.Namakula is a multimedia artist who graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. She went on to develop a robust career spanning over 20 years in NYC, working throughout the US and Europe as a commercial video editor, creative producer, actor, VO talent, writer and casting director, at a high level. She's supported and spearheaded commercials, industrials, webseries, art films, live events and has worked with top tier ad agencies and production companies, on accounts ranging from multi-million dollar prestige brands to indie projects. She's also a bass player, known as "Nasejje", currently in the indie rock duo, FINE PRINT.In the last few years, she and 1000s of SAG-AFTRA members have suffered work stoppage due to the union pushing unscientific, medical mandates as a contingency for employment. This, and the discovery of rife corruption within the guild, has been the impetus for her SAG-AFTRA NY Local Presidential candidacy, (August 2023). https://www.namakula.com/artivist0:00:00 -- Intro.0:03:37 -- Renaissance Woman and Citizen of the World.0:18:54 -- Curiosity, Openness, and Being an Outlier.0:23:51 -- On Pandemic Skepticism.0:52:12 -- The Onset of the Mandates.1:02:35 -- Dysfunction & Corruption in SAG-AFTRA?1:27:58 -- On the Future of Show Business.-------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE TO THE STATE OF THE ARTS: cliftonduncan.substack.comBUY TWIN ENGINE COFFEE: https://twinenginecoffee.com/?aff=4DONATE VIA VENMO: https://account.venmo.com/u/CliftonDuncanArtOR PAYPAL: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/CliftonDuncanArtOR CASHAPP: $CliftonDuncanArt

In many ways, this exciting discussion encapsulates why I started this podcast, living at the nexus of Art, Culture, and Society; it also serves as an example of the perils of ignoring Art and Artists in our ever-escalating "Culture Wars", as many have seen fit to do--unless they are complaining about how bad our Art has gotten.A Cuban-American whose mother experienced the ravages of Communism firsthand, the fiery and vivacious Salomé Sibonex deeply understands the corrosive effect of the authoritarian impulse on creative expression.She is a writer and artist known for her distinct style of truth-telling, melding philosophy and psychology to diagnose modern issues. She's written for Areo Magazine, writes the cult-favorite newsletter "Weird &amp; Güd", and examines film as modern mythology on her podcast, The Silver Eye Society, and you can find her on Twitter and Instagram via @SalomeSibonex.
