Poetry, whose definition and form has evolved throughout time, has continuously proved to be an expression of strength and revolution from within. Roadwork, a D.C.-based multiracial coalition that puts women artists on the road globally, advocates for the expressive power of poetry. Roadwork attended the 2018 Folklife Festival in the form of the Sisterfire concert as well as poetry, spoken word, and activist reflections on women’s cultures past and future.
