In Response to Citra Sasmita

Barbican Young Poets

,The Curve
A poet performs on stage, they hold onto a page and speaks into a microphone.

Join Barbican Young Poets for an evening of performances and readings inspired by Citra Sasmita's exhibition, Into Eternal Land. 

In her first solo UK exhibition, Indonesian artist Citra Sasmita explores ancestral memory, ritual and migration in a sensory journey through painting, installation, embroidery and scent. 

At this event, step inside the exhibition in The Curve to take in Sasmita's work before hearing the poets' responses within the space.

Barbican Young Poets is a community and artist development initiative for people who want to explore what’s possible for their poetry and creative expression, fostering a collective of poets to become the next generation of powerful creative voices.
