Warrior poets is a Brussels-based collective fueled by litanies for survival. Our project is inspired by the groundbreaking lifework of Audre Lorde. She dedicated both her life and her creative talent to confronting and addressing discrimination based on race, class, gender, sexuality, age and ability. We believe that storytelling is a powerful tool to confront and transform all sorts of constraints on selfhood in a life-affirming way. We aim to create open spaces where personal narratives can be shared through poetry, spoken word, rap, music, art and meaningful discussions.
