We’re in the midst of a devastating virus—of racist systems, of
police murder and other violence, of misogyny and transphobia, of oppression
across the board—that has been deadly long before the current biological one
that additionally rips through our society.
We need radical truth tellers who will say what needs to be said and not
give a damn about those would suppress their voices. That’s where you, and our feature, come
in! Join us for an online open mic of
justice, conscious thought, spirituality, fam, real life—whatever advances the
village! In the tradition of Emma
Goldman’s “Mother Earth” magazine, come drop some rad “fiyah” on us, or
contribute just with your presence and energy.
Our theme is “Peace, Justice, Poetry!”
By the way: it’s a non-erotic venue, so rather than a love & erotica
evening, we focus this night on justice and other matters of life. And, almost needless to say, leave the
misogyny, homophobia and other unnecessary ish outside!
There’s trouble coming from across the water—the kind of
troubling of the waters we need! Hitting
us from the British Isles with a lyrical storm is Sonny Green! The host of the now-internationally popular,
London-based venue Trouble Tongues, Sonny Green has worked in the live music
scene over many years doing various gigs—including being the first ever rap
artist to perform at the House of Commons supporting Fatboy Slim. He’s worked
with Brian May, Slash, Pete Doherty, Tamer Hassan amongst many well-known
artists. After supporting Asian Dub Foundation at a gig at Broadwater Farm, he
was quickly recruited to join them live and to date he has played over 50
venues across Europe, consistently delivering confident live performances,
opening for a variety of performers. In a sea of other artists that sound similar,
what makes Sonny stand out from the crowd is that he calls it as he sees it,
and his angry lyrical tirades are completely uncompromising, unmaterialistic
and calls out everyone from politicians to his peers without fear.
