Spoken Word

To thank the young people who participated in the MO-TRAYL project ethnographies in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands, we organised an online Spoken Word workshop. Over two days in March 2023, participants explored Spoken Work to write and share their own stories of being mobile between Ghana and Europe.

They were guided by Sydney Lowell, a Spoken Word artist, voice actor and cultural entrepreneur from Amsterdam, who is the co-founder and producer of cultural platform We The People and online spoken word production 2Phrase.

Some of these young people then attended and performed at the MO-TRAYL Final Conference in Maastricht, The Netherlands, on 4 April 2023.

Below you can explore some of the participants' Spoken Word poems, in text and videos.
