Words Per Minute

The rather excellent Words Per Minute are coming to the Southside having teamed up with the Scottish Refugee Council to present WPM:Home, a one-off event for Book Week Scotland 2012. 

In a line-up packed with live music, stories and short film, artists will reflect on what ‘home’ really means in relation to refugee experiences. Well-known faces will perform, alongside writers and performers from refugee communities in Scotland.

Award-winning novelists Karen Campbell and Sophie Cooke

Brilliant theatre from Martin O’Connor

Wild blues from Jethro Kinavuidi

Rapper Amir Mohammadi 

Soulful electro from Glasgow Girls composer Patricia Panther 

Dundee based emerging writer of Ugandan Asian heritage Jaimini Jethwa 

Screening of short film Destitution by Chris Leslie

Described by both Radio 4’s Front Row and GQ Magazine as one of the best literary salons in the UK, WPM mixes the best of live music, performance, new writing and film into a fast-paced showcase of Scottish and international talent.

Tickets: £4/3 available on the door on the day of the event. Free for asylum seekers and refugees.
