Open: Titilope Sonuga UK Tour

Join world renowned poet, Titilope Sonuga in her first ever London show as part of the Open world tour.

Bringing the acclaimed Open show to the UK for the first time, join her with supporting acts Yomi Sode & Ruth Sutoyé for an incredible evening of poetry and music.

 
Titilope Sonuga is an award-winning poet, writer, and performer who renders both in verse and in performance a remarkable elegance of craft, a quality of rootedness and an unflinching womanhood that makes her one of Nigeria's leading poetic voices.
 

She is the first poet to perform at a Nigerian presidential inauguration, performing an inaugural poem in May 2015. She was a speaker at TedxEdmonton in 2014 and served as the 2015 - 2016 ambassador for Intel Corporation’s She Will Connect Program in Nigeria, advocating for women and girls in the STEM fields.

She has published two collections of poetry, with debut collection This Is How We Disappear forthcoming.
