It carries memory, ancestry, language, movement, belonging, and the places we continue to make home. Poetry Mosaic brings together poets and community voices whose writing moves across cultures, languages, histories and places. Through poetry and spoken word, the evening explores heritage and migration, family and identity, memory and belonging, and the many ways we understand home. Rather than asking voices to fit within a single cultural frame, Poetry Mosaic celebrates what happens when experiences meet, overlap and transform one another. Expect an evening of vivid poetry, intimate storytelling and voices shaped by different journeys through the world.
