Against All Odds: Class and Resistance in the Arts
Join us for a powerful discussion on class, creativity, and resilience in the arts. Against All Odds brings together a stellar panel of artists and writers who have challenged barriers and defied expectations. From poetry to fiction, performance to activism, they have each carved a space for working-class voices in the cultural landscape. Featuring Joelle Taylor, Ashleigh Nugent, Barrington Paul Robinson, and Jayshree Patel, this event will explore the struggles of working-class creatives, the systemic obstacles they face, and the triumphs they’ve achieved along the way. How do we dismantle these barriers? And how do we celebrate the successes? Expect an evening of passionate conversation, personal insights, and inspiration from those who have paved the way. Joelle Taylor – An award-winning poet, playwright, and author, Joelle Taylor’s work focuses on identity, power, and resistance. She is the winner of the 2021 T.S. Eliot Prize for her collection C+nto & Othered Poems.
Ashleigh Nugent – A writer, performer, and director of RiseUp CiC, Ashleigh Nugent explores race, identity, and class through his work, including his acclaimed novel LOCKS, based on his real-life experiences.
Barrington Paul Robinson – An author and poet, Barrington Paul Robinson’s work delves into social justice, class struggles, and Black British identity, using literature as a tool for change.
Jayshree Patel – A writer, performer, and advocate for diverse voices in literature, Jayshree Patel’s work addresses themes of migration, class, and resilience, championing underrepresented perspectives. This is a partnership event between The Poverty Reseach Advocacy Network and Writing on the Wall. (These bios need chacking, and I have included Joelle and Barrington, though neither of them are confirmed. If we confirm anyone different they need to go in to this.
