Chicago Surrealist Group on Immediatism podcast

In these four podcast episodes are read four anarcho-surrealist pieces. As Long As Tourists Replace Seers (1992, 2020) is an essay recounting and lamenting the 500 years of enslavement and oppression suffered by indigenous peoples, and is signed by over one hundred surrealists worldwide. The other three essays, pulled from 1970s magazines for the podcast, are on a variety of topics. Now's the Time is a description of the ways in which surrealism is anarchist, anti-statist; surrealists identify as "implacable enemies of things as they are, unrepentant seekers of a truly free society." Lighthouse of the Future likewise calls surrealists a "militant minority," and states that surrealist acts are "merely the first skirmishes in a protracted war." The Anteater's Umbrella critiques zoo ideology and is lightened up by an anecdote in which polar bears swim out of their enclosure during inclement weather, then find and eat thousands of marshmallows.
