About

Our mission is to use literature to highlight global voices in Britain, and the diverse literatures its multi-cultural artists and communities produce. We do this through curating and producing literature of all kinds – from poetry and prose, to spoken word and satire - and we foster multiple voices through brokerage, development, and mentoring. Integral to what we do is cultural activism through artistic production and business success as a BAME led organisation, and reflecting our diversity through artists, partners and staff. We consistently push for greater diversity in the arts, with a focus on narratives of race and background.
