The Dark Wall with Bonita Poet & kenyan Noisemaker

The Dark Wall is more than a poetry show. It is a confrontation with the things we have learned to hide, ignore, and walk past. A wall stands between us and the truths we are afraid to face fear, trauma, injustice, heartbreak, silence, inequality, and the questions society would rather leave unanswered. It is the invisible barrier between what we know and what we choose not to acknowledge. Through poetry, spoken word, stories, and raw expression, The Dark Wall gives a voice to what exists behind that barrier. It asks us to look beyond the surface, to question the narratives handed to us, and to confront the uncomfortable realities around us.
Because sometimes the darkest walls are not built from bricks. They are built from silence. And every wall has a story. The Dark Wall.
