BEYOND THE STREETS — Power, Media & Systemic Conflict
An in-depth dialogue between Leonardo Caffo and Nirvona Soraya-Galo
“The ‘enemy’ isn’t in the streets. It’s what sends you there.”
On Wednesday, November 18, at 6 PM Italian time (5 PM UK, 12 PM New York), Poetry is Play presents a live conversation between the philosopher Leonardo Caffo and Nirvona Soraya-Galo. It will be streamed online and is open to all.
The dialogue begins with Caffo’s text published on The Anarchist Library. It asks what lies behind the images of conflict that fill our screens: the state power that organizes it, the street resistance that answers it and the media that shape how both are seen. At the center is a simple, uncomfortable question. Who really sends people into the streets, and why does the “enemy” so rarely turn out to be the one standing in front of you?
Leonardo Caffo (Catania, 1988) is an Italian philosopher. He earned his PhD in Logic and Philosophy and taught Aesthetics at NABA in Milan for many years. He is now joining the American International University in Kuwait as a full professor and chair of Philosophy of Design. His work ranges from political philosophy and animal studies to critiques of technology.
Nirvona Soraya-Galo is a multidisciplinary artist, poet and model based in New York City. She was born in Vancouver and has Cuban and Persian roots. She is known for her written and spoken-word poetry and also has a background in fashion management.
Poetry is Play is an independent, anti-imperialist platform for critical thought, art and political dialogue.
