Maureen Onwunali: Poetry Jam – Utopia in Verse
Step into the light – literally.
Utopia In Verse is an evening curated by our brilliant poet-in-residence, Maureen Onwunali, that speaks to radical hope, collective liberation and the audacity to imagine a world otherwise. With live music and a guest artist selected from Maureen’s work with local young poets, this event brings together sound, story and the power of community.
This isn’t just a performance – it’s an invitation to dream as one.
As part of this event, Maureen will be performing her new work, a special commission by centre:mk in collaboration with IF: Milton Keynes International Festival.
