Creative 91Ö±²¥ at the Bluedot Festival 2022

On 23 and 24 July, Creative 91Ö±²¥ hosted a series of panel discussions with talented and award-winning poets and storytellers at the Bluedot Festival 2022.

Bluedot Festival 2022

Curated for Creative 91Ö±²¥ by Senior Research Fellow Ellah Wakatama OBE, the conversations focused on new publications in many genres, touching on poetry, science fiction, fantasy, nature writing, and memoir. With a variety of poets and storytellers, these conversations also acted as a celebration of diversity, inclusivity, and the power of literature, with speakers reflecting on their experiences, their work, and their visions for the future.

The conversations included:

  • Love and Being – Niki Igbaroola, Jared McGinnis, and Kasim Ali
  • Our Future Selves – Geoff Ryman, Temi Oh, and Nikhil Singh
  • Writing Nature, ft. The Nan Shepherd Prize – with Marchelle Farrell and Nina Mingya Powles
  • Poetry: Remixes and Reimagination
  • Crime and Punishment – Nadine Matheson, Kia Abdullah, and Parker Bilal
