WAPI (Words and Pictures), a British Council forum that is a platform for visual and verbal artistes in the underground to showcase their art (in words and/or pictures).

WAPI is also a platform for young artists to use Words and Pictures to talk about and raise attention to issues of concern to them – social, political, economic – issues around social exclusion and freedom of information. Each WAPI event is themed, with all the art focusing around this theme.

Anyone who can showcase an item or performance that is relevant to the theme of the month is welcome to perform or exhibit at WaPI. A sampling of artistes includes: Poets, Fashion Designers, Emcees, Dancers, Graffiti Writers, Animators, Cartoonists / Comic Book Artist, Installation Artists, Painters, Singers, Acrobats, etc.
