"The artivist (artist + activist) uses their artistic talents to fight and struggle against injustice and oppression. The artivist merges commitment to freedom and justice with the pen, the lens, the brush, the voice, the body, and the imagination. The artivist knows that to make an observation is to have an obligation." M.K Asante

Through the voice of Reanna alias One Inky Queer, Collections of Queer Poets unveil the poetry scene in Brighton, a space for marginalised voices to share their truth in front of a like-minded audience.
Discover how One Inky Queer started from writing poetry, isolated because of lockdown and being disabled, to co-creating a new community focusing on queer and trans poets that is accessible to disabled people: Queer The Mic.
Collections Of Queer Poets is distributed by Disability Arts Online on YouTube.
