The Eco Rise

2021

We premiered our 18th show, The Eco Rise, via Zoom on Earth Day on April 22, 2021. This show shines a spotlight on environmental heroes who have worked in their communities locally or at an international level to advocate for the well-being of people and the planet. Through the power of spoken word, poets bring these community leaders and their stories to the public, reminding audiences that positive change starts with the everyday person. Poets included Suzen Baraka, Tara Bracco, Philippe Garcesto, Karla Jackson-Brewer, Shetal Shah, and Nabil Viñas, with guest artists Anish Jethmalani and Erica R. DeLaRosa. Funding was made possible by the Puffin Foundation.
