U SPEAK LIVE is a vibrant slam poetry collective based in Kigali, Rwanda, dedicated to celebrating Rwandan culture and fostering artistic expression through the power of spoken word.

Our flagship event, U SPEAK LIVE THURSDAY, currently hosted in collaboration with L’Espace, provides a creative and inclusive platform that features:

Open Mic Sessions: A showcase for poets in the room to share their work, offering an intimate and inspiring space for spoken word performances.

Guest Performers: Exceptional artists who often bring live musical instruments, adding a unique dimension to the evening.

Co-Writing Sessions: An engaging activity where all attendees collaborate to create a poem. The session concludes with a volunteer from the group reading the co-created piece aloud.

Whether you’re a poet, a lover of the arts, or simply curious, U SPEAK LIVE offers a space to connect, create, and celebrate.
