Poet and director Caleb Femi has been recognised for being part of the next generation to shape culture. Using film, photography and music, Caleb pushes the boundaries of poetry on the page, in performance, and through digital media. He has written and directed short films commissioned by the BBC and Channel 4, and poems for the Tate Modern, The Royal Society for Literature, St Paul’s Cathedral, the BBC and many more.
Between 2016-2018, Caleb was the first ever Young People’s Laureate for London, working with young people on a local, national and global level. Caleb performs and speaks internationally, gracing major stages, institutions and festivals.
He’s coming to Oxford as part of the North Wall’s Inspiring People series, a joint venture between the arts centre and St Edward’s School. With a mission to inspire and educate, they are offering half of all tickets free to local schools.
