Can art really bring about positive social change, help break down barriers, and raise awareness about local and global issues? Ian Keteku sure thinks so – and he’s proving that words, music and pictures can make a difference every single day.
Get intimate and interactive with poet, musician and freelance journalist Ian Keteku, the 2010 World Poetry Slam champion. Ian’s debut album Lessons From Planet Earth (Re-Evolution) draws musical influences from Afro-beat, trip-hop, hip-hop, folk music and blends them with socially conscious lyrics. Don’t miss this conversation on the in and outs of slam poetry and spoken word.
