POW! Play on Words on November 24th at the Roebuck continues its mission to fuse philosophy, punk, and poetry in spaces beyond the academic, a live platform where wordplay, performance, and politics collide. Together, Benjamin Goode, Sharon Young, Julie Cheung, and Sarthak Mukherji weave a shared language of memory, identity, and transformation, fusing the archival and the ancestral with the personal and the digital. Their work reclaims voice and vulnerability as acts of resistance, turning lived experience, history, and emotion into a chorus of reclamation, rhythm, and renewal.Together, these four artists create a dynamic dialogue between archive and emotion, performance and philosophy, the deeply personal and the politically charged. POW!’s stage, as ever, becomes both playground and pulpit: a place where the word still bites, breaks, and builds anew.
