Rebels with a Cause Featuring Lemn Sissay and Hyeonseo Lee in conversation @ Newcastle Library, Laman St, Newcastle NSW 2300, Australia | | |

Rebels with a Cause. Join us for a very special event featuring North Korean defector and human rights activist Hyeonseo Lee and one of Britain’s most popular and celebrated performance poets Lemn Sissay.

From 6.30pm to 7.30pm Lemn Sissay will talk to writer and literary critic Ed Wright about using art to make sense of his traumatic childhood in foster care. Lemn means “Why?” in Ethiopian, and it’s been a lifelong question for this raconteur, poet, advocate and actor.

Admission: $24 – 41
