What will our future world be like now that it has changed forever? 

For Freedom Festival 2020, spoken word performers from the UK and the Netherlands collaborated around the urgent themes of privacy and surveillance, division and isolationism and the climate emergency in our post-COVID-19 world.

Three spoken word artists from each country worked with Lucas De Man of Company New Heroes to explore what our near future will look and feel like, these young voices address their fears and hopes for the post-COVID-19 world.
