MUSHAIRA 5.0: Launching WILDPLASSEN and The Letters of Audre Lorde and Pat Parker 1974-1989

Welcome back to MUSHAIRA 5.0, a night of poetry, performance and music curated by the87press. In October we will be celebrating the launch of WILDPLASSEN, the debut poetry collection by artist dove / Chris Kirubi and the UK edition of The Letters of Audre Lorde and Pat Parker 1974-1989.

The event will include a reading by dove / Chris Kirubi, along with a group reading of the collected letters of Audre Lorde and Pat Parker by Abeera Khan, Lola Olufemi, Sarona Abuaker, and Janey Starling. We will also be joined by Irenosen Okojie and Elena Dudum.

This event also marks the first in a new Saturday MUSHAIRA format with slightly earlier start and finish times. We also have The Syrian Sunflower doing a pop-up kitchen at the event with healthy Levantine cuisine available to purchase, full of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options at affordable prices.
