Protest Poetry featuring Mercy Geno, Caroline Afroetry and Brandy Arinaitwe
from Amnesty in Africa · host Amnesty International
From Audrey Lorde, James Baldwin to Maya Angelou, poetry has been used to challenge oppressive power structures. When we think of protests, which for us at Amnesty mean another form of freedom of expression, we recognize that there are other forms of protests for some people, the imagination of protesting is taking over the streets displaying placards and singing slogans. In this episode, our guests three Ugandan women, Mercy Geno, Caroline Acen Afroetry, Brandy Arinaitwe serve us something special, a tasty dish of their Protest Poetry.
