Afternoon With Ben Okri

Described as a ‘rare thing, a literary and social visionary, a writer for whom all three - literature, culture, and vision - are profoundly interwoven’ (Ali Smith), it is no wonder that Booker Prize-winner Ben Okri is to whom people turn for artistic enlightenment in the face of the biggest existential challenge facing humanity: the climate crisis. In Tiger Work, Okri blends fiction, essay and poetry to evoke the magic of nature and the urgency with which we must all act before it’s too late. He takes to the stage to expand on the themes and messages in his poignant, timely collection.
