Poet in the City will close as a separate charity and its muchloved activity will continue as a dedicated programme strand within Apples Snakes to be led by producer and curator Natalie Fiawoo under the direction of Lisa Mead CEO Artistic Director of Apples Snakes. Natalie Fiawoo has worked with Apples and Snakes since 2018 spearheading the creation of the Apples and Snakes podcast programming live and digital events and developing the next generation of artists through programmes like Words A Stage 2.
