Welcome to the Words of Colour In Conversation Podcast!
Hosted by Heather Marks, this podcast is a platform for creatives of colour to discuss their work, practice and much more.
In this episode, Heather speaks to Shagufta K, award-winning poet and filmmaker. She’s the author of Jam is For Girls, Girls Get Jam, producer of short film Borders, founder of Yoni-Verse, a South Asian women’s poetry collective, and the co-founder of Kiota, a new collective for performers of colour in Bristol.
Shagufta shares the importance of writing groups and community for her creative practice, speaks candidly about the lack of safety for women poets in the spoken word scene, and delivers ‘Empire’, a breathtaking poem on partition.
