Our co-director Shaista Aziz was invited as a guest speaker at Glastonbury’s LeftField to debate State of the Nation: politics in crisis, alongside Andy Burnham, Mete Coban and Francis Foley.
She writes:
We are living through extremely exhausting, frightening, cruel, disconnected and fragile times. We are also living through a time of GREAT energy, compassion, resistance, ideas, creativity and acceptance. We need to make sure we WIN all these fights for the sake of people, species, and our planet. We have the fight of our lives on our hands!
The status quo is shaking. Hard.
Music, the arts and culture has always been at the forefront of resistance and change, you can’t separate one from the other, you can’t untangle love, resistance, justice and hope.
She talked about the activism and anti-racism solidarity generated by the Three Hijabis and the vision of collective hope and action through the campaign.
