Flow Fridays returns with an evening of spoken word and lyrical rhythm.

Eight young poets present their personal explorations of British colonialism, inspired by sound and image from West Africa to London.

Hosted by Flow Fridays founder Akhera Williams, with a special guest performance by esteemed poet and playwright, Inua Ellams (The Barbershop Chronicles and Three Sisters) the show blends encounters between historical archives and lived experiences.

The performances will last approximately 1 hour followed by a 30 minute Q&A with Inua Ellams.

Flow Fridays x Entanglements is inspired by Entanglements: Who Makes History? a project bringing the people of the past into conversation with the people of today, led by the South London Gallery’s youth forum, Art Assassins.
