Black History Month will be running throughout October and this year the theme is Proud to be. To tie in with the theme, join us and get involved with a storytelling, poetry and spoken word project to celebrate this important month.
We’re looking for pieces which can cover topics including culture, race, history, alliship, community and mental wellbeing. This can range from folk tales to song lyrics to personal stories. There is power in words and we want you to share your creativity with us – we will take entries up until Friday 22nd October. You can also submit works of other artists / authors that ties in with these themes and you find inspiring.
This event will showcase the pieces where authors and supporters are welcome to share writing pieces.
This is an opportunity for a safe inclusive space to speak freely and without judgement.
