Event Description

FLoW for Story Week in collaboration with Word Travels has curated a rich tapestry of voices: each one unique, each one a reflection of a different facet of human experience.

Through poetry, music, and storytelling, we celebrate the stories we share in this beautiful and diverse thing we call life, where narratives spanning cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives are woven together.

In the intimate embrace of FLoW, we invite you to a space where vulnerability is cherished, and authenticity is celebrated. As our artists take the stage, we encourage you to take part in the collective experience. Our event isn't just a performance; it's an exchange, a dialogue between creators and audiences as we share our love of words.
