S4, E5: No Planet B – Poetry, Protest and Revolution
COP 26 – No Planet B — Poetry, Protest and Revolution
Thursday 13th May 2021
An evening of poetry, performance and protest hosted by spoken word artist Zena Kazeme.
For our 33rd and final webinar of Amos@6 Season 4, we took the opportunity to celebrate our planet and to amplify the call for radical action to address climate change and demand climate justice. The climate crisis requires more than policy tweaks — it demands revolutionary transformation of how we live, consume and relate to the Earth.
Spoken word artist Zena Kazeme performed some of her own work as well as hosting a range of other performers and activists. Zena is a Persian-Iraqi poet and author who draws on her experiences as a former refugee to create poetry that explores themes of exile, home, war and heritage.
She took part in Amos’ Once In A Lifetime climate justice cabaret in September 2019, and we included two of her works in our Seeds Of Hope book. She is also a contributor to BBC Radio 2’s Pause For Thought and an Amos Trust trustee.
Featuring:
- Zena Kazeme: Spoken word artist, poet and Amos Trust trustee (host)
- A range of performers and activists
