📢New event 🎤ESEA R.A.P Party: In the Mood for Resistance 🗓️Thursday, 16 July, 6pm Join award-winning poet Romalyn Ante @romalynante for a creative writing workshop exploring how music, memory, language, and cultural identity can become sites of resistance, connection, and expression. Presented as part of ESEA R.A.P Party — a special East and Southeast Asian edition of Inua Ellams' @inuaellams internationally acclaimed R.A.P Party platform — the workshop invites participants to engage with sound as a catalyst for storytelling, reflection, and collective imagination. Through a series of writing prompts and conversations, participants will explore the ways music carries personal histories, diasporic experiences, joy, and acts of resilience across generations and geographies. Open to writers of all levels and backgrounds, the workshop particularly welcomes members of East and Southeast Asian communities interested in exploring creative writing as a space for dialogue, experimentation, and exchange. 🔗Participation in this event is by application only. Find out more, including how to submit your application, via the link in bio. Image of ESEA R.A.P Party writing workshop. Courtesy of Erika Hesketh. by @05events

What happens when censorship becomes a creative act? Join us at London Library this Thursday at 7pm for Redacted, Inua Ellams’ acclaimed live-literature event, where a stellar line-up of writers will create and perform original blackout poetry from the same passage of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, one of the most influential, controversial and frequently banned novels ever written, later adapted into a TV series. Through performance, conversation and revelation, Redacted turns the violence of literary censorship on its head, uncovering new meaning, beauty and unexpected stories through deliberate acts of erasure. Hosted by Inua Ellams, with Shami Chakrabarti, Jenni Fagan, Luke Harding, Wayne Holloway-Smith, Jenny Kleeman, Barry Sadid, Chris Thorpe, Otegha Uwagba and Mariah Wilde. 📍 London Library 🕖 Thursday 18th June, 7pm #BraveNewWorld #Poetry #LiveLiterature #Censorship #PoetryEvent by @05events
