We use poetry as a tool to bring people together and platform unheard voices.

​

We know that the power of poetry empowers authentic self expression and is a meaningful tool in processing difficult feelings.​

 

Working predominantly with Care Experienced people and the Black community. We produce high quality and innovative live events in theatres, libraries, community centres and public spaces for all ages. 

 

Our Care Experienced projects, Sticks & Stones and Black Care, give people with lived experience the opportunity to tell their stories in their own words. Through performance poetry, oral history archives and panel discussions. We champion all our participants to reclaim their narratives.

 

At Literati Arts we care about developing talent, building confidence in young people and the power of storytelling. We make performance poetry accessible to all,

cultivating connections and opportunities for poets to thrive.

 

All of our work has been made possible through the support of our amazing funders which include Arts Council England, Heritage National Lottery and Leicester City Council.
