An Evening with Marina Diamandis

Art &
Culture

Platinum-certified singer-songwriter MARINA, formerly known as Marina and the Diamonds, has been an integral part of the U.K music scene over the last decade. Amassing over 3 billion streams worldwide, her music — which includes hit songs Primadonna and Bubblegum B*tch —  has connected with fans for their unique electro-pop sound and powerful lyrics.

On October 22, MARINA comes to the Intelligence Squared stage to discuss the themes of her debut poetry collection Eat The World. Her talent for evocative song lyrics has found a new outlet in poetry. MARINA will touch on themes of trauma, youth, and the highs and lows of relationships in these autobiographical poems, which retain the same energy and emotive power of her music.

Join us for an evening of conversation and live poetry about love, solitude and the struggles of youth.
