Organiser: African Writers Abroad
Poetry and performance with Dorothea Smartt, Simon Murray, Zena Edwards and participants in the day's creative writing workshops. Hosted by PLATFORM’s Remember Saro-Wiwa project.
For over 40 years the multinational oil giant Shell has been flaring gas in Nigeria. This ‘poison fire’ releases toxins and carbon dioxide on a vast scale, devastating the environment and the global climate. But no condition is permanent.
Join three performance poets and young writers, on intimate journeys that take you from the frontlines of climate injustice to radical hopes for a sustainable future. The event marks the 14th anniversary since the writer and activist Ken Saro-Wiwa was executed by Nigerian government for his campaign against the impact of oil companies, in particular Shell, on the environment in the oil-rich Niger Delta.
