Let's Recite Poems of Resistence
Details
Join us for a reading and discussion of resistance poetry from South Asian poets.
Habib Jalib, Faiz, Meena Kandasamy, Rahman Baba, and many others have used poetry as a medium of dissent against state brutality and unjust systems. Let's come together and revisit their sentiments.
What to expect
- Please bring your favorite poem of resistance (either one you've written or one by someone else).
- We'll read English translations of these poems, followed by a brief discussion of their relevance to struggles against authoritarian regimes and unjust systems, particularly in South Asia today.
- Snacks will be provided. Feel free to bring your own drinks.
