Tontoma Poetry Jazz Session to Host Polish & UK Based Poet Bohdan Piasecki on the 24th August

Bohdan Piasecki is a poet from Poland based in Birmingham. A committed performer, he has taken his poems from the upstairs room in an Eastbourne pub to the main stage of the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, from underground Tokyo clubs to tramways in Paris, from a bookshop in Beijing to an airfield in Germany, from niche podcasts to BBC Radio. In the UK, he regularly features at the country’s most exciting spoken word nights, festivals, and readings. He enjoys the creative chaos of big field festivals just as much as the composed concentration of literary events. 

Bohdan founded the first poetry slam in Poland before moving to the UK to get a doctorate in translation studies. He has worked as Director of Education on the Spoken Word in Education MA course at Goldsmiths University, and was the Midlands Producer for Apples and Snakes between 2010 and 2017. Since 2012, he has been a regular Visiting Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Birmingham. He currently holds the post of General Manager at Free Radical, a Birmingham-based company creating opportunities for young artists with an activist practice.

So catch Him Live on the 24th August at the Tontoma Poetry Jazz Session Meet & Greet.

Venue: 32 East Ugandan Arts Trust Kansanga off Ggaba Road just after KIU University & Opp Bank of Baroda

Tontoma Poetry Jazz Session Resumes on the 17th June with the Eid Al Fitr Special Edition

Eid al-Fitr translates as the ‘festival of breaking the fast’ and happens immediately after Ramadan, with festivity, day-time feasts and family gatherings. Customarily, family and friends dress up in new Eid clothes and visit each other’s houses bearing gifts. (expect traffic to increase in the days leading up to this, as people hurry to get new clothes, haircuts, henna and buy all the ingredients for their feasts). Many families will also visit the poor and needy in their own communities to make sure they have enough food and water to celebrate themselves. Charity is known as zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, and is particularly significant during Ramadan and the Eids.

So Tontoma Poetry Jazz Session will present on that day Poetry Showcases from Mos elm Poets ( Hawa Nanjobe K, Poetic Jamail , Lus the Poet and other regular poets in a way to celebrate Eid Al Fitr Special Edition.

Date: 17TH JUNE/SUNDAY
Venue: 32 East Ugandan Arts Trust/Kansanga off Ggaba Road just after KIU University
