Jabulani 2025: Poetry

All That You Change– Black Art and Systems Change, the bridge between tradition, spirituality, art and transformation.

“All that you touch You Change. All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth is Change. God is Change.” ― Octavia E. Butler

At the centre of Black art is a revolutionary and miraculous life force; our art integrates rich traditions, honours legacies of intergenerational survival, and presents expansive forms of creation to transmute pain into story and galvanize systems change. This is a series of spoken word programming and performances which consider the connections between Black art and systems change.
