The Poems

///the new generation///

let’s protect

children|the new

corpses|

///η νέα γενιά///

να προστατεύσουμε τα παιδιά|τα καινούρια πτώματα|

///truth or dare///

have you noticed|the butterflies

how indecisive they are|

by the sea|

///θάρρος ή αλήθεια///

έχεις παρατηρήσει|οι πεταλούδες πως είναι αναποφάσιστες κοντά στη θάλασσα|

 

The Poet

Evá Papadakis (he/they) is a Greek performer and poet. Their poetry collection “meraklina|koukibiberissa|obladi” aims to revolutionise tradition and frame society’s response to current gender, equality, inclusion and belonging narratives by re-shaping collective memory. Their vision, throughout their career and everyday life, is to act as a Changemaker on a personal and local level with a mission to contribute to a glocal movement where anyone, anywhere, anytime can take action and start a Revolution: to dismantle current systems within; to dissolve current narratives. As part of their human-centered storytelling, they are also providing change-making communications focussing on gender, refugee and climate change topics for the United Nations. They hold an M.A. in Gender, Media & Culture from Goldsmiths, University of London.
