Letter to the child that I'm planning not to conceive
Nadia Freeman's poem raises her personal feelings on whether to choose motherhood and highlights the concerns that all women face before deciding to have children. Nadia is pictured above performing spoken word. She will be attending Mxogyny’s poetry slam on the 29th March 2019 to present some of her original work to Edinburgh’s local community.
Human Rights
inspired by the debate on freedom of speech and the call to prevent hate speech, Nadia provokes us to think about the line between what we believe to be our rights and entitlements, and how they may impact the rights of others. the poem is not a reflection of her opinion, but aims to ask the question: who is on the right side of the human rights debate?
feminism at the fringe: why the words of women win
Nadia Freeman reflects on the feminist arts scene in Edinburgh and what makes arts nights for female-identifying artists so important.
Sex Pest
Nadia wrote this poem to reflect the humour, fun and concern that came from a late night talk with a friend when discussing teenage sexual pressure, objectification and actions that so often get dismissed as immature or annoying. the piece explores the line between assault and ‘bad behaviour’, whilst acknowledging that these are not rare experiences but those shared by most women.
