Herstory Festival

Herstory is bringing together poets, activists, librarians, curators and communities to explore the unfinished fight for women’s rights in the UK through poetry, performance and discussion.
About Us

Poet in the City creates trailblazing poetry events that change the narrative and challenge the status quo. Our commissions help people and places tell their stories through deep community engagement. We are developing the next generation of poetry producers and establishing new routes into arts production. From poetry in libraries to arts centres, car parks to community venues and festivals to music halls, we present poets who can enlarge our worlds.
