Spoken Word at Erring – Jasher

6 poets, a different one each day, are performing over the P.A. system. They are Jasher, Saleem Ansari, Niambi Tree, D’Scribe the poet, Sarah Lewis, and clifton joseph. “We were honoured to co-curate the spoken word series at the Erring at King George Festival. As co-curators, we always strive to highlight artistic excellent, showcase diverse narratives, and to make space for artists who are not often heard. We’ve chosen poets who reflect both the roots of spoken word in Canada as well as those who illustrate our city’s distinct, ever-changing regional flavour. The work you will hear is political, experimental, and historically significant.” – Curators Jon Hedderwick, Elizabeth Jenkins
