Singh is a 21-year-old spoken word artist and is known for his poems that question the status quo on issues that are usually brushed under the carpet. He is also the founder of “UnErase Poetry”, a community based in Mumbai, India for promoting and producing spoken word poetry in Hindi and English. “Portrait of a Silver Lining” is an artistic interpretation of the Stockholm+50: Unlocking a Better Future SEI-CEEW report published on 18 May 2022.
“To be asked to interpret a critical SEI-CEEW report at a watershed moment in our history, in my own way, was many things. An honour … a challenge … and an opportunity a to be part of a truly global effort to heal the planet,” said Singh.
“Seeing how well the video has been received by people across the world has been humbling. I hope that this video truly serves as a wake-up call to redefine our relationship with nature and invest in a better future for all beings in the world,” Singh told the Indo-Asian News Service in an article reproduced by the Indian news site Andhravilas.
