Kimwei McCarthy

Kimwei is a singer-songwriter and writer, pioneering online university lecturer, digital nomad and lifestyle experimenter. He delivers workshops which address unseen qualities as a result of his Nothing’s Binary project, which drew his attention to how aspects of us can go unseen and unexpressed, and how reclaiming these aspects of ourselves can help foster our sense of embodiment. Kimwei teaches song-writing at Masters Level through AMSonline/UWL and is poet in residence for BBC Radio Devon’s Arts show. He lives in Exeter where he serves as Grand Bard - currently in his second year of the seven-year Laureateship. He has performed poems for BBC Radio 4, Exeter Poetry Festival and judged the Exeter Poetry Slam. Kimwei is a firm believer that everyone should be given the opportunity to explore creativity and self-expression.
