Rebel, Rebel
"Rebel, Rebel: An Emergency Dialogue" by Susana Medina and Roc Sandford is an experimental 2024 non-fiction work about being climate activists in early Extinction Rebellion. Using collage-style writing (dialogue, poetry, emails), it captures the urgency of XR's 2019-2020 London protests and the journey from ordinary citizens to environmental rebels.
Friends and Purpose
In this book you find out what people say when they come across a sofa, some armchairs and an entire living room in the middle of the street. What you hear are some remarkable and often very funny and very touching stories. Either side of these chapters, Maff Potts shares some of the more surprising things he has learnt about humans and humanity when working in the social justice world with people who have very tough lives. He finds the answer lies in humans, not institutions.
Burnt Rain
"Burnt Rain" is a powerful polemic by veteran eco-protestor Roc Sandford about his 30-year experience buying a bleak Hebridean island to live alone and manage for wildlife. Offering both lyrical nature writing and rational analysis of environmental stresses, the book explores how his island refuge took on a different destiny than planned, blending personal memoir with urgent environmental activism.
Angela Ker
Artist's Monograph on Angela Kerr by Roc Sandford. Angela studied at Glasgow School of Art after the Second World War, and moved to Ibiza soon after. Angela describes the act of painting as catching the knowledge that you have to impart. It's a communication that is beyond words yet has to be said, even when you yourself cannot understand it. It is a knowledge which hits the viewer if they are ready. She says, this is a living process, and to it is such a relief when it's received because it is your gift to the world.
