Language is a Queer Thing Showcase
Six queer poets from India and the UK take to the stage to explore how language can be reclaimed, refashioned, and made bigger, to hold queer lives and longings.
Through the spoken word, this collaborative performance conjures memories of mothers, sea creatures and mythological beings, forgotten tongues.
With Megha Harish, Amani Saeed, Rachit Sharma, Mukahang Limbu, Parth Rahatekar & Kirran Shah
These poems take the forms of tango steps and sonatas, drawing us closer to spirit, faith, and the futures we dream of and can create together, with new ways of remembering and loving. Led by The Queer Muslim Project in partnership with Verve Poetry Festival, Language is a Queer Thing is supported by the British Council. This edition in Bradford celebrates 3 years of cross-cultural collaboration and queer poetry.
