Bio to follow

                                       Chelle OT

A poet, songwriter, actor and 1/3 of SISTREN podcast and movement, Chelle O.T. is a jack of many trades with plenty more up their sleeves (Making plantain chips disappear, being one). The Barbican young poet alumni's work explores familial dynamics, youth culture, identity and religion, from the perspective of an emo with a sunshine aura.

                                               Dylema

Dylema's feminist poetry addresses head on matters of race, gender and individuality, values reiterated by the hidden message within the acronym: “Do You. Let Every Man Adapt”.
