EVENT NIGHTS
The word gives shape to the shapeless, forms the world, and brings reality into being. Fittingly, to begin the Summit, the Northern Griots Network, in collaboration with Up From The Roots, Lulaworld Festival, and the International Festival of Authors, present sensational spoken word artists from Canada, Latin America, the US, and the Caribbean to spark things off with a scintillating series of spoken word sets. Live music adds to the dimension in this venue tailor made for tropical beats and a roster of versatile vocalists who can ride a rhythm as well as slam.
Prior to the show, a meet-and-greet gathering, from 7:00 -8:00 PM and open to all, will offer the opportunity to informally mingle, share stories and ideas, and get to know the exceptionally talented people - artists, organizers, presenters, writers and cultural activists – gathered in Toronto for this unique event.
