Marta Vidal

I have written about a wide range of subjects, including birders and borders, political prisoners, black flowers blooming in the desert and communities resisting mining projects. 

I am drawn to stories that highlight hope, beauty, and joy in unlikely places. My work focuses on resistance, courage, and kindness in the face of oppression, violence and environmental destruction; on the ways people respond to adversity with creativity and resourcefulness, and on how oppressed and marginalised groups express defiance. 

I hope my work fosters solidarity, engagement and accountability.
