TALK 4.

OLD MCDONALD'S HAD A FARM
- THE POLITICS OF FOOD. 

We’ll try and envisage a sustainable global supply chain from farm to fork that can enable ethical choices. We’ll discuss the changed nature of what we eat and how it is produced as opposed to what we need to be eating. We take a look at the projected cost to society of the diet and obesity crisis that’s coming down the tracks and share ideas to help change the way the world consumes.

With:

Catherine Withers, sustainable Yew Tree Farm campaigner. 
Prof. Johnathan Napier, food and nutrition scientist. 
& Joy Carey, author and director of the Bristol Food Network. 
Our panel will be hosted by comedian Louise Leigh

 

May 16th @ 7.30pm, Hen and Chicken, 210 North St, BS3 1JF.

TALK 5.

DEMOCRACY IN CRISIS IN THE AGE OF PUTIN AND TRUMP - LESSONS FROM RUSSIA WITH PUSSY RIOT. 

 

We’ll talk about what happens to democracy when there’s no opposition, no free media and a servile judiciary. And with the USA approaching a MAGA fork in the road with their election this November, we’ll ask: it couldn’t happen here, could it? 

 

With: 

 

Masha Alyokhina Olga Borisova of the anti-Putin feminist art collective Pussy Riot.

Our panel will be hosted by Bristolian Rudy Millard. 

 

June 26th @7.30pm, Hen and Chicken, 210 North St, BS3 1JF.

A bit about the organisation we support...

Freestyle Bristol CIC was established in 2021 with the aim of supporting children and young people in Bristol, particularly those from marginalised communities, who aspire to work in the creative & digital media industries. The organisation provides unrestricted, in-person training sessions that allow young people to gain confidence, meet new people, and learn creative & digital media, as well as business management skills. The institution's goal is to elevate educational and career aspirations, facilitate access to careers in the creative media industry, and address inequalities in the creative and media sectors. The Freestyle Bristol website showcases the organization's work, with a focus on issues that are most important to young people in Bristol. Freestyle Bristol CIC addresses well-being issues among young people through healthy and social activities, including youth projects and sports, which promote interaction and participation. Freestyle Bristol delivers youth programmes in Easton, Horfield and Southmead for 10- to 16-year-olds. The organization now engages with over 100 individuals on a weekly basis. WHAT DO DONATIONS GO TOWARDS? Your donations will contribute to the long-term success of this institution, ensuring that it continues to provide young people in Bristol with the means to achieve their creative ambitions.
