The Restitution RAP Party

Hosted by Inua Ellams

Founded by award-winning poet and playwright (The Barbershop Chronicles, The Actual, Doctor Who) Inua Ellams, The Rhythm And Poetry / Prose Party is a no-clutter no-fuss night of live literature and moving music. The format is super simple: 10 writers share a piece of work and after each, the DJ will play two songs of their choosing linked to the text.

In commemoration of Africa Day, this special edition invites audiences and writers to imagine and re-imagine the possible histories and swirling narratives around artifacts in Manchester Museum’s collection.

He will be joined by DJ Tone on decks, and a fantastic line up of writers and performers from communities of origin. Expect live literature, moving music, and an unforgettable night out.
