 this one!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBOOK HERE\n\n\n\n\nOur last LIVE language a Sudan
 ese artist translated many poems into English from Arabic adding: his Engl
 ish isn't that great\, and he will try to present the poems in English alt
 hough it loses some of the essence and meaning but will do his best.\n\nWe
  felt that in honour of this moment and many moments at BlackFest where we
  have discussed language in great depth and how important the role languag
 e has on politics\, colonialism\, culture\, relationships and identity we 
 would mark and celebrate International Mother Language Day declared by UNE
 SCO and observed on the 21st February 2021 on 17th November\,1999.\n\nIt h
 as been observed throughout the world since 21 February 2000. Find more in

 zes for 1st and 2 finalists of our drive to put a spotlight on this amazin
 g day celebrating the array of indigenous languages across the world.\n\nW
 e will share poetry online the 21st February following our LIVE Lounge and
  announce the winner and finalists.\n\nWe have always been passionate abou
 t championing bilingual poetry and works encouraging our artists to discov
 er our lost precious channel of voices.\n\nWe are accepting submissions to
  info@blackfest.co.uk we really look forward to your expressions and sign 
 ups for our special LIVE Lounge.\n\nPoems do not need to be in another lan
 guage\, can be a mixture bi-lingual and/or what your relationship with you
 r mother tongue is even in yearning\, loving or in nuanced ways we want to
  hear from you.\n
