About the Theatre

Afrika Poetry Theatre (APT) is a culture-forward ecosystem uplifting poets, musicians, designers, and community archivists throughout the African diaspora.

Core Values

• Access: Mobile-first experiences, sliding-scale programming, and accessible documentation.
• Care: Trauma-informed facilitation, community accountability partners, and wellness stipends.
• Imagination: Multi-genre experimentation spanning drumming, architecture, XR, and culinary arts.
• Stewardship: Open-source toolkits, archival training, and equitable authorship agreements.

Editorial Collective

Our editorial collective rotates seasonally and includes poets, educators, technologists, healers, and youth producers. Together they shepherd the magazine, podcasts, livestreams, and residencies.
