We Are Free To Change The World: Clive Lewis MP

In the second episode of our mini-series, "We Are Free to Change
the World," inspired by Hannah Arendt's call to action, Dash
Arts' Artistic Director Josephine Burton is joined by Labour MP
for Norwich South, Clive Lewis. 


From his House of Commons office, Clive Lewis discusses the
struggle for freedom within contemporary politics. The
conversation explores his belief that the "only real freedom we
have is the freedom to... find out about the world around us,"
and his concerns about the "grim authoritarianism and a culture
of fear" stifling creativity and genuine engagement in the Labour
Party.


Join Josephine and Clive as they discuss the essential role
of imagination and art in shaping
political visions—from science fiction to the NHS, and the loss
of social democratic parties’ ability to “dream
big.” They also explore the difference
between optimism and pragmatic hope as
a driving force for political change, Clive’s experience as a
participant in Dash Arts’ speechmaking
workshops and the need
for collaboration and solidarity to
counter increasing polarisation and fear.
