Spoken word and performance artist Subira Joy explores their experiences being targeted by the police as a Black, queer and trans person in the UK. Combining striking visual imagery with powerful language, this new work examines the impact of the police in our communities and how we internalise their role to repress and suppress ourselves into submission.

Tracing narratives of police encounters, while centering themes of violence, gaslighting and abuse of power, this work exposes how we impede our liberation when confronted by our inner cop.
