GAYATHIRI

Hi, I’m Gayathiri. I’m a poet, facilitator and producer based in the UK. I’m interested in how language shapes adolescence and 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, Apples and Snakes & BBC Contains Strong Language. I won the Disabled Poets Prize, the Faber & Andlyn Publisher's Prize and the Primadonna Prize.

I’m currently working on a sequence of poetry films exploring parenthood.

Upcoming in 2025: 

Poetry

Facilitation

Producing
