This blog is dedicated to documenting the Poetry Exchange – an exciting partnership project between poets from Newcastle and London, enabling them to visit each others’ cities to write and co-create spoken word videos to inspire social change.
The project is led by two collectives – Born Lippy (Newcastle) and Spoken (London) who both run dynamic poetry nights in their own cities. Through collboration, they aim to make art that raisess awareness of injustices, builds empathy and gets YOU TALKING & TAKING ACTION in your own communities.
