- Part of series: Word N Sound All Stars: Exhibition Activation
For over a decade, Word N Sound has been more than a stage—it has been a movement, a sanctuary, and a revolution in spoken word. Word N Sound Legacy X: Future History is a tribute to this journey, honoring the voices that dared to speak, the audiences that dared to listen, and the stories that continue to resonate across generations.
What began with a single microphone and a shared dream has grown into a cultural force that has redefined the landscape of African storytelling. Through poetry, performance, and community, Word N Sound has transformed words into action, creating a platform where identity, history, and imagination converge.
This exhibition is both a reflection and an invitation. It chronicles the milestones, the voices, and the moments that have shaped Word N Sound’s legacy, while challenging us to consider the future of storytelling. As we walk through this living archive, we are reminded that history is not confined to the past—it is alive in every word spoken, every stage taken, and every poet who dares to reimagine the world.
More than a celebration, Legacy X: Future History is a call to action: to honor those who came before us, to uplift those who stand beside us, and to create space for those who will come next. The future of storytelling is in our hands. What history will you help create?
