We’ll consider the history of cross-community organising in the UK, from the UK Black Panthers to the Bangladeshi Youth Movement. What the challenges were, how we built power and how we won.

How can music interact with the landscape? What music cultures have emerged in resistance to land rights issues? And who owns the land? Listen together to deep music from across time as Zakia Sewell, Nick Hayes and host Matt Huxley seek to answer these questions. Considering the changing role of land rights and the commons, this session will explore the music of morris dancers, New Age Travellers, the free party scene and more. The session will consider the disciplinary and post-colonial histories of these issues, aiming to expose the shifting role of Capital in struggles against enclosure and the musical communities which accompany it.

If you are 6-12 years old then please come along and think up an idea for a story. Creations from previous workshops have included ‘An Evil Pumpkin Is Defeated By The Slaves’ and ‘After Her Enchanted Stick Is Burned A Scruffy Girl Finds A Watch To Fix It’. You will develop the beginning, middle and end of the story, and with the help of a facilitator, will write it up into a play which adult actors will perform in the Open Mic slot on Monday 27th at 5:30pm. Parents are welcome if they wish.

But are we generally on the same side or do we want fundamentally different things? Should socialists work with liberals or not?

While politicians often talk of listening to the masses, this session will explore what it really means to listen effectively and how this can form the basis of an organising project. This session will showcase some of the most effective examples of listening currently taking place within the movement and give you creative ideas of how to run these projects.The Centre for Progressive Change (CPC) will deliver this session sharing their experience of the Cleaners United campaign – a broad alliance of unions and community groups campaigning nationwide to improve cleaners’ working conditions – which they kicked off with a mass listening campaign.

Inspired by Fehinti Balogun’s experiences in environmental activism, Can I Live? is a specially filmed performance prompting an urgent conversation about the lack of representation at the heart of the British climate movement. Balogun (I May Destroy You, Walden) is an actor, writer and activist, and now delivers his energising exploration of where the climate emergency and social justice meet. Using hip-hop, spoken word and theatre, it is a call-to-arms to anyone who may have felt excluded from activism or anyone curious about how to get involved. Telling the personal story of Fehinti’s own journey into climate activism, and featuring a cast of his own family, Can I Live? demystifies activism and empowers the audience, passing them the baton.

Check out our interview with Fehinti on TWT TV at 4:30pm on Tuesday 28th September.
COLECTIVA explore the spaces between Afro-Latin music and Jazz Tropicaliente while reflecting on themes of sisterhood and female empowerment.
Blending deep Latin groove, experimental textures, wild horn lines and thoughtful arrangements, COLECTIVA’s fresh compositions are rooted in the sounds of Africa, Latin America and the diaspora.
Having released their debut single ‘Under The’ (a collaboration with the artist Maria Grapsa) on Movimientos Records at the start of 2021 the group have blazed a trail across the festival scene this year with much more to come.
A seven-piece band of outrageously good vibes, they'll set the scene for our resident DJs to play out TWT 21 with a night of chilled out, joyous music.
