The Survivor Arts Community welcomes you an open mic night that celebrates the voices of survivors, as well as performers from the wider community. You do not need to be a survivor to attend or perform, although we would love to hear from survivors too. We're interested in hearing from poets, writers, musicians and storytellers. If you would like to perform on the night, please get in touch at survivorartscommunity@gmail.com. Slots will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis.
This is a free event, to RSVP please visit the following link: Book Week Scotland: Open Mic Night
Content warnings: Performers will be asked to give any required content warnings. It is likely that some performers will refer to experiences of trauma, abuse or survival in their work. An experienced support worker will be present and a break room is available all night.
Please note: this event will be held in person at Glasgow Zine Library. This event is BYOB so please be aware there may be alcohol.
About Survivor Arts Community:
The Survivor Arts Community is a non-profit organisation based in Glasgow that supports the artistic practices of survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse. We are founded on the belief that not only is art healing for survivors, but survivors’ creativity is a vital contribution to the art community. The Survivor Arts Community runs free creative projects and one-off workshops for survivors across different artforms, leading to public outputs including writing publications, song recordings, exhibitions and performances.
