About

The pen is apparently mightier than the sword, so this platform is to bring to you thoughts, commentary, literature, poetry, articles and musings to help thought become reality.

Art is a powerful way to speak out against the injustices in the world; to whisper from the depths and turn despair into hope. So, whether penned, painted, woven, sung, played or sculpted, Platform 14 is a forum for those that want to manifest a better world through expression.

Given the current unstable political landscape globally, this Platform is also for those that are trying to make a difference from within a system that really, should be dismantled but as Edison had to work by candlelight until the lightbulb changed everything, so too must we operate within the walls of oppression until we evolve into a more enlightened species that cares for each other and this planet we call home.

You input is welcome, either by support or submitting your work to share here. Be vocal and reach out; your voice and vision matter.

Yours,
