Bristol Old Vic’s Seeds of Change week comes to its conclusion this evening with 50 Voices for Change – a celebration in partnership with Ujima Radio.
Inspired by the declaration of 2018 as the Year of Change by Ujima and the Old Vic, it brings together local, national and international voices who have inspired or provoked radical social progress and follows on from other events such as the City Conversations and Frederick Douglass memorial earlier this year which have helped move discussion in the city forwards over the last ten months. 
Seeds of Change week is part of Bristol Old Vic’s ongoing welcome to the whole city during the Year of Change. It is a curated week of work investigating the mechanisms through which radical social change is, or might be, achieved in Bristol’s past, present and future.
This evening’s celebration comes at the end of a week that has seen the welcome return of poets and artists Miles Chambers and Edson Burton’s Curry Goat and Fish Fingers on Monday and Tuesday, packed houses for Phoenix Dance Theatre’s Windrush: Movement of the People on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the much-anticipated first public reading of Giles Terera’s play The Meaning of Zong last night.
This evening’s line-up includes the stunning talents of Dionne Draper and her Sing With Soul choir, Bristol poets Vanessa Kisuule, Solomon OB and Laurence Hoo, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Black Panther star Danny Sapani, the Sonder Choir, the awesome ladies of Breathing Fire and the glorious voices of Kizzy Morrell and Lady Nade. There is also a contribution from Lord Mayor Cleo Lake and the evening is hosted by Ujima Radio’s Roger Griffith.
