Pooja Nansi performs poems from her latest collection We Make Spaces Divine with musical accompaniment Isuru Wijesoma. These poems walk through cities in bodies that don’t belong. They speak through moments in music and film, posing as acts of resistance, renewal and reclamation.
Pooja Nansi’s latest poetry collection We Make Spaces Divine was published in January 2021. Her key performance work includes her one-woman show You Are Here, which explores issues of migration through personal family histories. She also wrote and performed Thick Beats for Good Girls with Checkpoint Theatre, which opened in April 2018 and explored the intersections between feminism, identity and hip hop. She was a recipient of the Young Artist Award in 2016 and is the current festival director of the Singapore Writers Festival.
