A screening of ‘Can I Live’ a vital new digital performance about the climate catastrophe conceived, written and performed by Fehinti Balogun who shares his personal journey into the biggest challenge of our times. Weaving his story with spoken word, rap, theatre, animation and the scientific facts, Fehinti charts a course through the fundamental issues underpinning the emergency, identifying the intimate relationship between the environmental crisis & the global struggle for social justice, and sharing how, as a young Black British man, he has found his place in the climate movement.”, This will be followed by a quick Q&A led by Dr Khalil Thirlaway.
Elijah Wolf and Chiman101 will be performing a collaborative track from the viewpoint of a prisoner on death row. You can find out more on Elijah’s Podcast.
To finish the night, DJ Chiman101 will take you ‘Around the World in 80 Beats’ an auditory journey through music’s global influences.
