In Our Words will be an afternoon of South Asian poetry and spoken word. Local poets will share original work exploring cultural heritage and identity, offering honest, personal reflections on life shaped between places and generations. This is a welcoming space to listen, reflect, and be part of a shared creative, South Asian community.
Whether you come to perform or simply to experience the work of others, the event is open to all who want to engage with poetry in its many forms.
Plus, there’ll be free chai and samosas available to enjoy.
Sign-up to perform by e-mailing radhaika@cultureword.org.uk
