In this short video interview Kwame Boateng talks about why the distance created between people can isolate those in poverty and reduce empathy.
A masters student at the London School of Economics and a filmmaker, Kwame is interested in how we tell our stories and how to break down the distance and barriers between individuals and communities.
ABOUT PROJECT TWIST-IT:
Project Twist-It takes a different approach to the poverty narrative that has dominated for so long in America and Britain.
We are interested in telling the stories that haven't been told and hearing from people who aren't usually heard. We want to reflect the real, lived experience of people in poverty. Our aim is to change our collective understanding of the reality of poverty in order to overcome the entrenched, negative rhetoric that blames people who experience it.
With the help and collaboration of artists and writers inspired by the issue of poverty, we want to help re-frame the poverty narrative. And, as part of our multi-platform approach, the project will incorporate as wide a variety of voices as possible from across society in the US and UK.
Project Twist-It is supported by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. It will run until March 2019. In February 2020, the project's founder, journalist Mary O'Hara, will publish a book - The Shame Game - to try to unpick the story of how poverty is talked about in Britain and America and to chronicle what Project Twist-It found by reaching out to people.
