That’s right! Lez Write and Pride & Pen have joined forces to bring us some fantastic writing workshops. This week, we’re joined by Tia-zakura Camilleri to learn all about Flowetry.

Tia-zakura Camilleri, an interdisciplinary creative from Cardiff, has left an indelible mark on the artistic landscape with her distinctive focus on poetry and theatre. From writing lyrics with her Dad at just 8 years old to headlining poetry nights across the UK, Tia believes the rhythm of writing to be just as important as the words. With a focus on social justice, Tia aims to merge poetry, rap and academia to tell stories from the Black diaspora. Most recently featured in the book ‘Cymru & I’ (Seren, 2023) in partnership with Inclusive Journalism Wales, Tia navigates the complex landscapes of identity, sharing her unique perspectives on societal issues in Wales and the world by combining memoir with rhyme. Beyond poetry, Tia has specific interests in scientific racism and psychology and, in all her work, tries to both entertain and educate.

This event is supported by Literature Wales’ Inspiring Communities Fund.
