Cyndi Celeste Poetry

Cyndi Celeste Poetry Poet. Performer. Writer. Teaching Artist. Creative Director. Arts Entrepreneur.

Cyndi Celeste is a prominent spoken word poet and full-time creative entrepreneur based in Barbados. She describes herself as an arts activist who uses performance poetry to engage audiences in critical discourse about society, arts, and culture. She holds a BA Honours degree in Linguistics from the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, 2018. She received a bronze award in performance and writing at the 2017 National Independence Festival of Creative Arts (NIFCA), is a two-time performer at the University of the West Indies 21 Poets Tribute, and has been a member of Frenetic Arts since the conception of the organisation in 2016. She has facilitated poetry workshops as part of Frenetic Arts' Talk Sense programme, which is geared towards educating youth in the island’s secondary education institutions about using the spoken word genre to make sense of issues affecting them. She has also performed and participated in the Vrystaat Arts Festival in Bloemfontein, South Africa (2019), as well as many local Barbadian cultural events including Bridgetown Market, the inaugural Bridgetown International Arts Festival, the NIFCA Performing Arts Gala (2017), and the ceremony for the decommissioning of the Lord Horatio Nelson statue, Heroes' Square, Barbados (2020). Cyndi’s work is often an exploration of themes including gender, race, and the relationship between language, the oral tradition, and cultural identity. The raison d’etre for her art is to challenge audiences to look within themselves to re-analyse and re-evaluate entrenched beliefs on the abovementioned issues, and to encourage progressive thought within the ever-changing global landscape. Her work aims to deconstruct belief systems that dehumanise and marginalise certain groups within society, while honouring, above all, all that is human.
