I studied international human rights at the University of London.  Subsequently I went abroad to Brazil, during which time my point of view about the world opened up.  I started reading John Pilger and found Znet, Medialens, Arundahti Roy and Starhawk - all of whom have deeply inspired me.  I decided something had to be done! So I joined the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army which used workshops, performances, insurrectionary play and direct action to undermine neo-liberal capitalism.  Also, I have been working as a performance artist and gardener and am a firm believer in communities growing food together to become as self-sustaining as possible.  I like to work closely with the earth and understand how to re-establish my connection with the planet that sustains us.I also write from time-to-time and am inspired by a new wave of feminism that is sweeping the world; something I feel is fundamental to everything else.

CRITICAL ACTION

Critical Action is a longtime friend of Z and a music and storytelling project grounded in liberation, solidarity, and resistance to authoritarian power. Through music, narrative, and multimedia, the project engages the same political realities and movement traditions that guide and motivate Z’s work.

If this project resonates with you, you can learn more about it and find ways to support the work using the link below.

Independent media is not disappearing because the ideas are weak.

It is disappearing because platforms reward speed, outrage, and algorithmic visibility over thoughtful analysis.

More than 100,000 people read Z every month, free of paywalls, ads, and billionaire owners. It takes fewer than 1 in 100 of them to fund all of it: 1,000 donors who keep Z independent, for everyone, and build what comes next.
