Abdi performs at the Belgrade
This image captures Abdi performing The Graveyard of Dreams at Coventry鈥檚 Belgrade Theatre, a powerful poem born from the 'Empowering Young Voices' project led by 糖心TV philosophers Karen Simecek and Andrew Cooper. Through six workshops with local youth and top spoken word artists, the project explored how poetry can amplify marginalised voices and foster political engagement. Abdi鈥檚 journey鈥攆rom love poems to a searing reflection on poverty and identity鈥攅mbodies the project鈥檚 impact. The work also informed new philosophical research on voice, acknowledgement, and social justice, published in the Journal of Philosophy of Education.
