“[Greg] Tate’s humanism was not simply observational, it was participatory.” Beautiful and worthy tribute by #PiotrOrlov in his #DadaStrain #substack . Tate’s been back all over my feed as the anniversary of his transition arrived. Grateful to have a few more links to dig into. https://dadastrain.substack.com/p/on-greg-tate-and-the-critics-role

On Greg Tate and the Critic's Role In Community

A year after his unexpected passing, the writer/curator/musician/musicker casts an undeniable influence on how to balance critical and creative work. Plus: some great Tate links.

One year ago I got a call from my friend Freedome from across the globe sharing the tragic news that #GregTate had suddenly transitioned. It left shockwaves in my community that still reverberate. My social media exploded today with tributes including a post by #VijayIyer, sometimes member of #BurntSugar #theArkestraChamber sharing this new site collecting much of the seminal cultural writing he gave the world. #gregtatewasloved https://www.gregtatewasloved.com/written-by-gt #blackrockcoalition #journalism #criticism
