Open Mic: Heartspoken Open Mic Night
Thursday 1st December 2022 , 6:00pm to 9:00pm
Calling poets and poetry lovers of all levels and languages! Heartspoken Word are back for their second open mic night at the Nunnery Gallery, revolving around the theme of ‘a lost love letter’.
A lost love letter.
Imagine, you have found it.
Who is it for?
What does it say?
Where does it take you to?
Our abandoned earth of existence is calling her lovers to read a poem.
This event is open to poets of all levels of experience – whether it’s your first time reading or you’re a seasoned pro – as well as to those who want to simply listen in and enjoy the performances. The evening will also feature readings from some familiar faces in London’s spoken word, poetry, and open mic scenes.
Grab the mic and bring all your letters – be they for your ancestors, hazy memories, or to our endangered planet.
