Rise Baby Rise - London

Rise Baby Rise celebrates our capacity to gather. The PCSC Act, Public Order Act and Terrorism Act are stripping away our freedoms, expanding police racism and discrimination. Since these acts came into effect, more people raising their voice for change have been arrested than there have been for generations. Our right to move, to gather, to speak for change is under attack.

So we dance —

to feel the air change when we share it without fear,

to let our bodies remember,

to carve freedom into the ground.

Last time, 2000 danced with us spontaneously.

In 2025, we rose again.

The swarm was a beautiful, welcoming, uplifting, poignant and oh so important experience. I felt honoured to be a part of it.
