Linlithgow MSP Fiona Hyslop has sponsored a Poetry in Parliament event aimed at showcasing how arts and culture provide new and powerful perspectives on climate change.
Fiona’s event, ‘Poetry in Parliament: A Voice for the Climate Emergency’ was co-hosted by Creative Carbon Scotland and Creative Scotland.
It featured work by four Scotland-based poets: Kathleen Jamie, the Scottish Makar; Canadian-born Alycia Pirmohamed; north east-based poet, Jo Gilbert and Shezar Doja, a Bangladeshi poet based in Glasgow whose family and friends are currently living with the impacts of climate change.
Commenting after the event, Fiona said: “I was very pleased to sponsor such an enjoyable, challenging and important event at the Scottish Parliament.
“Poetry has the power to change the way we see the world and because culture is, by definition, our way of life, it is who we are, where we are, and ultimately, where we want to be.
“There is no issue more important when thinking about the future, than climate change, and this is particularly relevant following the completion of COP27 just last week. Poetry can be more powerful than a speech.”
She added: “The arts generally create new ways of thinking, sharing and educating and it was very inspiring and moving to hear directly from these poets who had responded to the issue of our natural environment, many of whom were climate activists themselves.
“After quoting Bangladeshi Poet Shezar Doja in a Parliament Speech on climate change and the Global South earlier this year, I was pleased that he could share his experiences in Parliament through his poetry.
“I would like to add my thanks to all the poets who read their work and to Creative Scotland and Creative Carbon Scotland for making the event
