Resisting empire and injustice through storytelling and fiction

Arts, culture & social functions
Online

When

10:00am Friday 22 November

Why

While good reporting helps us to be aware of, and understand current events, social change is a long-term endeavour that requires imagination, vision, and deconstruction of the status quo. Hence, storytelling - through novels, poems, biography, art, podcasts, and more, can be vital.

In this online event, activist-authors will explore how storytelling can be a powerful tool for resistance to injustice and empire, followed by an open Q&A and discussion.

Featuring:

Tamara Pearson - Journalist,activist, author of The Eyes of the Earth
Behrooz Boochani - Kurdish refugee, author of No Friend But the Mountains
Bill Fletcher - Racial justice activist, author of The Man Who Changed Colors
Justin Podur - Toronto-based professor, author of Siegebreakers
Michael Fox - Podcast storyteller, writer, US journalist in Latin America
