Present Disruptors, Future Visionaries | Online Poetry Reading

We kick off our online poetry reading sessions with a set of young performers who are making waves in their local and in international poetry scenes, as prolific performers and writers with complexly layered world views.

We invited them to come together on our virtual stage and echo, respond to, engage with, interrogate and/or disrupt the framing theme of this year’s festival | Poetic (In)Justice: Voices That Breathe, Move and Transform.

We look forward to attracting a global audience and amplifying the impact that these ingenious and dynamic voices have on others.

Host: Quaz Roodt
Featured Poets: Kateryna Mikhalatsyna(Ukraine), Lethokuhle Msimang, Masai Sepuru, Bella Cox (United Kingdom)
