Talawa Firsts 2024 | BORN::FREE Presents: Veranda

Following the success of last year’s two week festival of new and emerging Black work and artists, Talawa Firsts festival is returning.

This July at our base in Croydon, Talawa Theatre Company will host two amazing weeks of new work, workshops, rooftop club nights, their first Don’t Flick short film screenings and more, themed around obsessions and chance encounters, encouraging all festivalgoers to stay curious!

Week 1 will close out with BORN::FREE’s Veranda – an epic poetry and music jam featuring a house band of emerging London artists and experimental live performance prioritising Afrodiasporic narratives.

Talawa Firsts invites anyone and everyone to enjoy this festival of culture in Croydon.
