Troublemakers

5pm, World As It Should Be stage

We talk to some inspirational mischief-makers about the power of subversive rebellion, and how to show leadership, stand up for yourself and act for positive change in the face of unending corruption, cowardice and capriciousness. With Dr Meenal Viz who collaborated with Led By Donkeys around the PPE scandals during Covid, and Preeti Dhillon whose new book The Shoulders We Stand On highlights campaigns by people of colour across Britain, looking at the disrupters and rebels that you might never have come across. Chaired by Winnie Li whose novel Complicit explores the world of whistleblowing and speaking up as she asks the panel: what prompts us to fight the system instead of remaining silent?
