Blue Mist

Mohamed-Zain Dada

Sinopse

'Shisha lounges are an essential part of the Muslim experience, bruv, like the Fillet-O-Fish.'
Chunkyz Shisha Lounge is a home away from home for Jihad, Rashid and Asif, a space where community whispers are heard, jokes are told, and new hustles are born. But its future is under threat, having become a target for local politicians.
Aspiring journalist Jihad wants to fight back. After winning a competition to produce his own documentary, he sets out to create something that gives a voice to his community and challenges the usual stereotypes that fill the airwaves. Will he be able to create something that makes his boys proud? Or will his dreams of becoming a journalist come at a cost too high to bear?
Mohamed-Zain Dada's debut play, Blue Mist is a story about South Asian Muslim men navigating a system that isn't built for them. It premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in October 2023, directed by Milli Bhatia, in a co-production with SISTER. It was revived on tour in 2026.
Blue Mist won Best Stage Production at the 2024 Asian Media Awards.

Humans are Out - AI is In

Mike Blake

Humans are Out :: AI is In. 
A poem about the impending turn of fortunes for Humans when AI becomes of age. 
When it is no longer a computer programme, nor a chess or Go Master, 
but a possible thinking sentient being with a mind of its own! 
 
What humans may take from it, how will they react. Will they easily accept it, become 
accustomed to AI being a potential competitor, or will they go into a spiral of decay. 
The poem touches on these points and suggests a way out, that possibly AI will never have 
regardless of how intelligent it becomes. 
 
*Absolutely NO A.I. has been used in the creation of this Poem. 
Purely the Authors inspiration. * As for all his poems.*

Earth Keeper - Reflections on...

N. Scott Momaday

""Dazzling. . . . In glittering prose, Momaday recalls stories passed down through generations, illuminating the earth as a sacrosanct place of wonder and abundance. At once a celebration and a warning, Earth Keeper is an impassioned defense of all that our endangered planet stands to lose."" — Esquire
A magnificent testament to the earth, from Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and poet N. Scott Momaday.
One of the most distinguished voices in American letters, N. Scott Momaday has devoted much of his life to celebrating and preserving Native American culture, especially its oral tradition. A member of the Kiowa tribe, Momaday was born in Lawton, Oklahoma and grew up on Navajo, Apache, and Peublo reservations throughout the Southwest. It is a part of the earth he knows well and loves deeply.
In Earth Keeper, he reflects on his native ground and its influence on his people. “When I think about my life and the lives of my ancestors,"" he writes, ""I am inevitably led to the conviction that I, and they, belong to the American land. This is a declaration of belonging. And it is an offering to the earth.”
In this wise and wonderous work, Momaday shares stories and memories throughout his life, stories that have been passed down through generations, stories that reveal a profound spiritual connection to the American landscape and reverence for the natural world. He offers an homage and a warning. He shows us that the earth is a sacred place of wonder and beauty, a source of strength and healing that must be honored and protected before it’s too late. As he so eloquently and simply reminds us, we must all be keepers of the earth.
