An interview with Christopher Deojee during a Drive show I was covering on Phoenix FM on 13th January 2017.
I wanted to catch up with him for a while, I met him at a talk he did about gender at the Wildheart festival in Devon in 2015. His background and work covers many topics and, as you can hear at the start, I had difficulty describing them at the start!
We discussed a few topics, including the the breakdown of the family, how anger is actually necessary and the huge issues with mental health at the moment.
Also, the importance of connecting with the people and community around us, instead of worrying about remote concepts we have no power to effect.
A large part of Chris’ work is based on language and gender- how language is used to divide and control, but then how it could be reclaimed to heal those wounds.
