Poetry of the Camps - Rohingya Refugee Camp
Welcome to our global poetry movement called "Poetry of the Camps"!
Poetry of the Camps is a poetry workshop series offered through She Is Night, a creative arts collective curated for girls/women of color to reimagine a world beyond colorism by centering female protagonists. This poetry workshop is designed primarily for students of color on U.S. college campuses and students in the Palestinian and Rohingya refugee contexts. To stay true to our mission, we will center the voices of poets who are women of color. We will learn about colorism from the lenses of public health, colonialism/settler-colonialism, and the arts and write poetry together in community.
