Word on Wednesday Open Mic Night
September 28th, Wednesday 7-9 PM, at the Kerckhoff Art Gallery
The Word Open Mic seeks to celebrate the counter narrative nature of spoken word poetry, and its power to educate. We offer a platform for the stories of intersectionality to be listened to; especially in our current campus/society climate where conversations are more about comfort for the privileged than progress for the rest.
Professional poets will be featured in conjunction with student artists: Shasparay Lighteard, a nationally recognized TED Talk poet will perform to conclude the night. Her narrative as a unique black woman living in intersectionality is needed in our current campus climate.
