Poetry and resistance: Breaking through the digital cacophony | Ep 21 Stories of Resistance

Federico Avalos is an Argentine poet. But he does not write the words. He recites them. And poetry is both Federico’s job and his activism. A theatric intervention. A temporal break in time from the digital monotony: The selfies, the tweets, the posts, the likes, the comments and the follows. This is Federico's resistance. Standing up to the cyber mayhem. Breathing art into the void. Magic. Reflection. This is episode 21 of Stories of Resistance — a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange . Independent investigative journalism, supported by Global Exchange's Human Rights in Action program. Each week, we’ll bring you stories of resistance like this. Inspiration for dark times. April is poetry month in the United States. We are taking advantage to feature three stories about poetry and writing this week. This is the second of those three.
