What is CONTINENT CHOP CHOP?
‘Continent Chop Chop’ is a touring transmedia production linking narratives of climate change to the broader issues of poverty, race and social justice. Using interwoven narratives portrayed through music, poetry, and projected imagery, it will ask:

• Who controls the narrative of climate change?
• What are the connections between climate change and poverty?
• How does the wider climate of austerity and scapegoating of migrants connect with climate change?
• And why should anyone care when they don’t have enough to eat?

Drawing on diverse histories and narratives of climate justice from across the world, with music influenced by Afrobeat, experimental electronics, English Folk and deconstructed imperial and colonial anthems.

TRANSMEDIA STORY
Maya Chowdhry produced the Transmedia story as part of ‘Continent Chop Chop —

Christopher Wilder launches an appeal for Ethical People Movement, an organisation that has sponsored Virtual Migrants in a funding crisis.
Or did they?

Using invisible theatre, and conveying the story of ‘Ethical People Movement’ across web, twitter, YouTube and Bandcamp, this Transmedia narrative explores ‘white-saviour complex’ and asks the audience to look beyond the issues of climate justice, refugees and austerity into their complex connectivity.
