Join acclaimed poets Ilisha Thiru Purcell, Princess Arinola Adegbite and Jeremy Pak Nelson (and special guests) for an immersive, multimedia exploration of the meaning of Home, Sleep and AI.

Come and experience original work by Ilisha Thiru Purcell, Princess Arinola Adegbite and Jeremy Pak Nelson - three acclaimed, emerging artists from the Poets of Colour Incubator for the North of England. They will be joined by award winning poet (Forward Prize), performer and academic Malika Booker, Becky Swain, Director, Manchester Poetry Library and showcase host Joy Francis, Executive Director, Words of Colour and the Poet of Colour Incubator co-founder.

After a year of developing new work in response to what they see as global challenges, this exclusive showcase launches new poetry to inspire change.

Princess Arinola Adegbite takes a surrealist deep dive into AI, romantic relationships, family and health.

Jeremy Pak Nelson offers a sensory exploration of HOME, how we carry memories and transform them to build a sense of belonging.

Ilisha Thiru Purcell investigates who is able to rest as a poetic journey on the power of dreams and SLEEP as a growing health inequality.
