Poetics of the Undercommons explores spoken word, poetry and lyrical prose as sites of resistance and liberation, framing the way the voice can embody a space of both individual and collective agency. The programme takes its title from a publication by the poet and scholar Fred Moten, who imagined a ?poetics of the undercommons? as not only an aesthetic practice, but also a social poesis ? a constant process through which people make one another and the sociality in which they live.
