THE RED ROOM UK

The Red Room creates theatre, film, and web-based events that challenge social injustice and promote human rights. We aim to create work that is original, daring, provocative and inspiring, for audiences who question the changing world.

We aim to forge alliances with artists, activists, writers, social commentators and organisations to campaign for equal rights and a better understanding of our stake in contemporary society. We believe that it is not only governments and the powerful that should have a say, but ordinary people.

Through our work we hope to give voice to those under represented in society in a form that is accessible in style and challenging in content.

THE R WORD  - 25 May 2014, 4-7pm @ LILIAN BAYLIS STUDIO, SADLER'S WELLS, LONDON

Ending Racism in the 21st Century

Why are some people so uncomfortable with the “” word?

For one night only in London, a space will be created for all generations to talk some truths.

Featuring live performance, music and video mixed with conversation and testimony, The Word will be an opportunity to shed some light on acism.

Have you ever been overlooked at work, school or uni because of your colour? Are you tired of answering questions about where you’re from? Are you sick of feeling guilty and excluded from conversations about ace? Got an idea for kicking racism out of the big institutions once and for all?

Artists, young people, journalists, educators, writers, politicians, members of the criminal justice system and many more will investigate “The word” and inspire actions. Local people will sit alongside experts to discuss how we can move from feelings to action and end racism this generation.

We are inviting you to have your say about the R word and want to hear how you think we can End Racism The Generation.

Follow the conversation online #TheRWord and #EndRacism
