Marking 100 years since his birth, WritersMosaic presents an afternoon of words and music celebrating the enduring work of the extraordinary writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin. Join author *Colin Grant*, journalist *Chitra Ramaswamy *and poet *Vanessa Kisuule* as they reflect on Baldwin’s prescience and his writing, informed by love, political activism, and the Blues. Take in Missohio’s slideshow journeying around Baldwin as singer songwriter *Angeline Morrison* performs in accompaniment. Experience the power of Baldwin’s writing as actor *Burt Caesar* brings it to life in a live reading. This event has a limited number of bursary tickets available for people who might not otherwise be able to afford them. You can apply here. Presented in partnership with WritersMosaic.
