Experience one of the world's best spoken word artists in the intimacy of The Barn for her first and only Tasmanian / Lutruwita performance.
GRAMMY-nominated poet, musician, and activist aja monet (USA) has become one of the most compelling voices in contemporary performance, weaving poetry, jazz, and live music into spellbinding performances that are intimate, expansive, and deeply moving.
Her work explores love, identity, grief, joy and justice with arresting honesty, carried by a voice that is as lyrical as it is powerful.
Her acclaimed debut album, when the poems do what they do, brought together an extraordinary collective of musicians, including Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah and Samora Pinderhughes and earned monet a GRAMMY nomination and widespread critical acclaim from The New York Times to Pitchfork and Jazzwise.
Live, aja monet is indefinable, moving effortlessly between spoken word, music, and conversation – a durational open invitation to reflect on and be immersed in the human experience.
For one night only, experience one of the most distinctive figures in contemporary poetry and music – up close and live in The Barn.
This is a performance you'll be talking about long after the final word is spoken.
