Words of Colour and Raise the Bar present ‘Conversations with Baldwin: LIVE’, headlined by T.S. Eliot prize-winning poet Roger Robinson.
‘Conversations with Baldwin: LIVE’ is an evening of poetry and performance from incredible artists celebrating the magic of the word. Five artists will respond to the theme of ‘the Artist as Witness’, drawing on James Baldwin’s legacy as one of the 20th century’s most revered writer-activists. Featuring Sukina Noor, Casey Bailey, and T.S. Eliot prize-winning poet Roger Robinson, Conversations with Baldwin: LIVE promises to be an exceptional night you do not want to miss.
Conversations with Baldwin is produced by Words of Colour and supported by Bristol City Council’s Originator’s Fund and public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
