Orchestras of Awe/dacity is a collective of seven writers who surrender ownership of language-making in order to generate a Calypsonian-inspired poetry that not only seeks to give voice to the life of the deep sea, but a voice that defends itself. We strive for an ocean literacy defined as “gathering power as an ocean citizen”, using poetry and collective ritual as the vessel to harmonise with the unknown and challenge the violent extractivist narratives asserted over the deep.
Our whirl-wide-web was ideated and woven by Kayla Archer, and includes gal sherizly, Abigail Burt, __ORSHI, Yemisi Oyeniyi, Niccolo Moronato and Fırat Yusuf Yılmaz.
