Events on Saturday 27th July

“We are alive at an extraordinary moment in time: It is a time of growing uncertainty, as climate catastrophe looms, the sixth mass extinction accelerates, and the wounds of inequality and inhumanity are laid bare. It is also a time of great possibility when creativity, courage, and collective action can change the political and ecological landscape for future generations. A time when many of us are seeking ways to reconnect to one another and to the living Earth, and to bring forth our particular gifts to contribute.”

“It is a year since people gathered in Bristol for ‘Disability and Migration’ in solidarity with Disabled asylum seekers. 30 years ago, Disabled people protested outside at the Arnolfini itself. Throughout June 2019, autistic people, people with learning disabilities, mental health system survivors and families are campaigning against institutions and cuts to education.”

“Kobo Town-Founded and fronted by émigré Trinidadian songwriter Drew Gonsalves, Kobo Town’s music has been variously described as “an intoxicating blend of lilting calypsonian wit, dancehall reggae and trombone-heavy brass” (The Guardian) and a “unique, transnational composite of rhythm, poetry and activist journalism.”(Exclaim!) From their home in Toronto, the JUNO (Canadian Brit Award Equivalent!) -winning group has brought their distinct calypso-inspired sound to audiences across the world, from Port-of-Spain to Paris and from Montreal to Malaysia.”
