WordUp Sessions

WordUp Sessions

Poetry returns to the heart of Johannesburg for another unforgettable evening of spoken word, storytelling and live artistic expression at Weed Lovers Market Marshalltown.

Curated by Ithongo Experience, the July edition of WordUp Sessions brings together an exciting lineup of some of South Africa’s emerging spoken word voices—Ella Fatso, Prince OG, Ongie Vision and Gnarty—for a night where poetry, music and authentic conversations meet.

Whether you’re a poetry enthusiast, a creative, or simply looking for a meaningful night out, WordUp Sessions offers an intimate platform where artists challenge perspectives, celebrate culture and connect through the power of words.

The evening also features limited Open Mic slots, giving aspiring poets an opportunity to step onto the stage and share their voice with a live audience.
