Angry about the injustice you see around you?
Come shake tings up with performance poets, film-makers, musicians, artists & activists on a free 5 day course to creatively express frustrations & concerns about the world you live in.
Violence is present in all parts of our daily lives from racist policing, islamophobia, knife crime/death, war, terror and “counter-terror” (prevent), to Brexit to Trump to May, #StatesofViolence will explore:
• How can we heal, be safe and support ourselves in these violent times?
• How can we break patterns of violence on and within our communities, with the rise of acid attacks, knife related deaths, islamophobic and racist attacks in London?
• How do we repair and build resilient families, homes, communities and movements?
• How do we use the genius of our ends/communities to resist and reimagine a world for and led by us?
