As part of the Longplayer Live programme, award-winning writer, director, and former Young People’s Laureate for London, Caleb Femi presents Longplayer: Longpoem, an immersive 100-minute poetry event exploring time, inheritance, survival, and the unknown. Taking place on Sat 5 April at 12pm and 2:30pm, Longplayer: Longpoem reflects on the past, present, and future within Longplayer’s 1,000-year continuum, weaving powerful storytelling and poetic expression.
Curated by Caleb Femi, he first made his mark at the Roundhouse Poetry Slam a decade ago and has since become an acclaimed writer, director, and photographer. Celebrated for his debut collection Poor—which won the Forward Prize and was added to the AQA GCSE syllabus—Femi’s work continues to elevate young voices and explore deep thematic narratives.
