Solidarity for the Earth

Poetry Night: Solidarity for the Earth is a stage to voice empathy and solidarity with the victims of genocide and ecocide in various parts of the world, from Gaza to Volnovakha, from Papua to Rwanda. Their poems will be the voices of the silenced and the stories of those who have been ignored. The poems will also connect the sense of humanity for those who are oppressed, showing how art is a medium that can convey messages of justice, peace, and sustainability.

Poets from various countries (Ukraine, Iran, and Indonesia) and different generations will deliver litanies to comfort grief, as well as encouragement to fight for hope. On this night, we create a collective space to celebrate empathy and build hope through the power of words.

Literature enthusiasts, environmentalists, and nature lovers can come to think about the meaning of solidarity in the midst of the ongoing humanitarian and environmental crisis, and celebrate solidarity together.
