Maureen Onwunali

Join us for a special night of poetry with Maureen Onwunali – a Dublin-born Nigerian poet, two-time national slam champion, and resident artist at The Roundhouse. Her work moves between page and stage, drawing on themes of home, ancestry, belonging, and the everyday beauty we all share.

Maureen’s performances breathe life into words, carrying the rhythm of her Igbo roots, the playfulness of a shy twelve-year-old who first found her voice in poetry, and the power of an artist who has gone on to win national stages and festival commissions.

Expect poetry that is intimate yet universal, crafted with warmth and presence – an evening to be together in imagination and language.
