Ayana Playle

Ayana holds a BA in Theatre and English from the University of Bristol. Her most recent research focused on ‘grotesque’ femininity and queer feminist studies. Based near Brighton, she is also a spoken word artist whose poetry reflects the challenges and joys of navigating life in her twenties. With humour and wordplay, she explores themes such as female friendship, the queer experience, and climate injustice. When not reading, writing, or performing, Ayana can be found listening to Kate Bush, experimenting with vegan recipes, or at the gym
