The main reason why I don't post about my book anymore... is materialising on steroids this week in the UK.
Read comments about #Glastonbury? Well... voilà...
After the events in #Gaza in 2014 and my experience with the UN in Central #Africa, I had this idea that it could be powerful to team up with #artists who support the oppressed, and voice their opinions for human rights.
Now, we see how weaponised this is by mainstream media...
One of the #artists I interviewed told me the day I met him in# Bristol: 'What can we do, really? What can artists and #musicians do? #Palestinians and other people at war need #lawyers and #journalists..." He was right from the start.
I loved coming to Bristol, it was among the best years of my life, but today, after the Covid crisis, the Cambridge Analytica scandal, with wars in Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, DRC... music and art are not the story, #people are the story.
