Remembering What’s Forgotten has launched a new eight-week® poet in residence opportunity for emerging poets of black and South Asian heritage, from Leeds, who wish to explore and centre lived experience narratives of mental ill health and amplify the importance of racial and social justice. This is a great Leeds-based poet-in-residence opportunity, centring mental health, lived experience and racial justice.
THE POET IN RESIDENCE WILL RECEIVE:
- A £2,500 bursary as funded time, space and travel to develop an original commission in response to the project’s themes
- A Creative Entrepreneurship masterclass
- Access to studio space (courtesy of poet Khadijah Ibrahiim)
- Career signposting and advice from New Writing North
- Access to workshops and talks at Manchester Poetry Library
- An opportunity to discuss their work in progress at the Remembering What’s Forgotten preview at Leeds Playhouse on Monday 23rd September 2024
The final commissioned piece will be featured as a legacy poem on the official Remembering What’s Forgotten digital exhibition platform at the end of October 2024.
