'As I Said' Readings from Poets and Artists

About this event

Join us for a relaxed evening of readings from the poets and artists of As I Said exhibition and associated publication. Come to hear poems written in response to artworks, whilst sitting amongst the exhibition of artworks that shaped them! It will be many of these poets and artists first time reading in front of an audience, so please bring a spirit of generosity and support. This event will be an opportunity to celebrate the participants’ new writing and the wrap of a several month long programme. Limited public tickets available. Free copies of the As I Said publication will be available to take. The Poetry Café is a fully wheelchair accessible space with a lift to the basement, accessible toilet, and hearing induction loop available. This project is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. This event is part of part of One Word’s As I Said exhibition, showing in the Poetry Café 31 July – 13 August. There is also a programme of creative workshops, free to attend. The exhibition itself is open for drop-ins at selected times – find out more here. Please note: this event is suitable for over-18s only due to poems with occasional adult themes and language.
