Y M Abdel-Magied & Meena Kandasamy: Putting the World to Rights
Yassmin Abdel-Magied, Meena Kandasamy
Venue NW 24 Aug
17.00 1hr

Author, screenwriter, and award-winning social advocate Y M Abdel-Magied joins poet, activist, and novelist Meena Kandasamy for a galvanising conversation about principles and power dynamics in a divided world. In At Sea, Abdel-Magied draws on her past life as a drilling engineer to confront urgent questions about the cost of human ambition, while Kandasamy’s Fieldwork as a Sex Object follows the fuse from online incel threats to offline nationalist violence. Two clear-eyed commentators in their element. Chaired by Nicola Sturgeon.
