Finding Power
26 March - 7 August 2020
A season exploring new possibilities for power and voice—in isolation.
Our original Finding Power season centred the voices of people speaking up, challenging and reimagining established power structures. In a time that sees us occupying a uniquely isolated landscape, we have been working with our season contributors to bring you an online programme.
Finding Power in Isolation is a season direct from writers, artists and activists whose voices are now more important than ever. The programme launched with If I Feel Lonely Maybe U Do 2?, a live online performance from Travis Alabanza and Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley and has been evolving week-by-week in tandem with our own collective experiences.
Join us for a vital online session with Liv Wynter on pooling resources and mapping out care during lockdown and a live streamed gig of solo performances from punx of colour hosted by Decolonise Fest. We’ll also be presenting podcasts from Suzanne Alleyne and Talia Randall, co-commissioned articles from gal-dem, Skin Deep and Selina Thompson, future facing writing resources from The Literary Consultancy, a 4-week Science Fiction as Activism course with Ama Josephine Budge and a vital online conversation on language and power with English PEN.
Stay tuned our social media pages to keep up to date.
This Season is generously supported by Arts Council England and Fritt Ord. Visual identity by Soofiya.
