#Hashtags: Breaking the silence

The symbol # is one of the most frequently used symbols in social media platforms. Its compact form reduces a variety of interactions and intentions to an image. This collection of poems takes hashtags as a unifying symbol of protest, a way of 'breaking the silence' over injustices against fellow humans and the environment. Each poem comes with its own composite image and hashtag to tell a different story rooted in the specifics of a particular place and time in planetary history.
