In this Woman Up! On Tour episode we went to Brighton and spent time at the incredible Quiet Down There studio talking to thee inspiring women Lucy Jeffries, AFLO.the poet and Alina Hazadeh.
.
Quiet Down There offers people routes to expressing and developing their own creativity – outside of the traditional structures of the arts. They work in markets, charity shops, laundrettes and other spaces where people already are. They are ambitious for the communities that they collaborate with and work alongside artists to hone and develop their socially engaged practice.
.
AFLO. the poet is an award-winning Brighton-based spoken word artist, activist and academic who embraces creative expression to disrupt the status quo and inspire social change. AFLO. uses poetry as a vehicle to address hard-hitting topics, particularly racism and mental health, primarily speaking from her lived experiences. AFLO. has performed at various protests, festivals and events. AFLO. is one of Brighton Dome's in-house artists for 23/24 and is a significant force directing change in Brighton's creative scenes.
.
Lucy is an intersectional feminist, mum, producer, law student & cocktail drinker. She grew up in Bristol where she formed her community-organising roots and have lived in Brighton for the last 20 years. She co-founded Quiet Down There in 2016.
.
Alinah is an artist, writer, performer and cultural activist of British Iranian heritage. She uses text, textile, audio, and live practices to create poetic narratives that activate spaces, amplifying untold or overlooked stories. She is inaugural writer-in-residence at Seven Sisters Country Park & Sussex Heritage Coast, commissioned by the South Downs National Park Authority, and led We See You Now (2019–22), a decolonial landscape and literature programme which has produced We Hear You Now, a new spoken word audio series on Listening Points across the landscape and online until 2028.
