Profile

Gayathiri will be co-hosting Queer Arts Slow Dating with Gayathiri Kamalakanthan and Adae Bajomo between 2.15 – 3.30pm

’m interested in how language shapes belonging & how we might use it to build freer futures. I tell stories that ask: Whose imagination are we living in? How do we feel belonging? When do we get to practise freedom? 

I’ve performed with the Roundhouse, DAYTIMERS & the Southbank Centre. I am a recipient of the Disabled Poets Prize, the Faber & Andlyn Publisher’s Prize and the RSL Literature Matters Award.  My novel-in-verse, Bad Queer, is forthcoming with Faber.
