Meet Radhika, a writer, community organiser and certified romantic. She writes fiction about our tangled lives and loves, and is part of a wonderful group in Tower Hamlets using the arts to campaign for food and land justice in gentrifying London.
Experiencing a big grief this year has made her understand how grief and beauty are life-long neighbours. Her cousin Nirali taught her all she know about love, and now she see her in beautiful places everywhere: in blossom trees, in the moon, on the dance floor.
She believes in the possibility of this world to resist the many cruelties of capitalism and be better. So she also believea in writing postcards, going to demos with your friends, finding one million ways to say I love you to loved ones, that embracing ‘cringe’ and earnestness leads to freedom, and appreciating the feeling of awe moving through her when it does.
Where can you find Radhika?
Follow our food and land project at @foodjusticeldn, and @raaads for writing things, plus a whole lot of mushy paragraphs about how much I luv my friends. Who/What does Radhika want to promote?
Come see Rukhsati at @theatre503 and follow my beautiful friends doing beautiful work at @abolitionisthealing and @dancewithzah_
See you next Sunday!
