About this artist

Caleb Femi (1990– ) is a poet, filmmaker, and photographer. Born in Kano, Nigeria, he moved to London when he was seven years old, settling in Peckham – an experience he explores in his poem, ‘Children of the ’Narm’. After studying English Literature at university, he became a secondary school teacher, only giving up that job in 2016 shortly before being named London’s first Young People’s Laureate. He won the Roundhouse Poetry Slam in 2015, was featured in the Dazed 100 list of the next generation shaping youth culture in 2017, and frequently performs his poetry internationally. He is currently working on his debut poetry collection.
