Accessible Online Open Mic

A crowd favourite, our open mic night for disabled creatives is back as part of Poetry Month! Join us on Zoom to click, stomp and cheer in celebration of disabled poets and poetry.

Enjoy special feature sets by neurodivergent author of Wiradjuri heritage Beau Windon and writer, editor, poet, collage artist, and average kook Alex Creece, and share your own poetry. Come along and read a poem, or turn up and show support.

You can read your poetry aloud, or share it in the chat. This free online event will be a fun relaxed night, and also an opportunity to socialise with other writers in the disability community.

Plus, join us at the Dis-Poetics Workshop with queercrip doctor of history, writer, teacher, and multidisciplinary artist Robin Eames on Wednesday 29 July to pen some new poems for sharing.

Note: Sign-up for the open mic is during the Zoom only; the event hosts will try and accommodate as many poets as is possible until all slots are filled (maximum 3 mins per poet). Auto-live captioning can be enabled in Zoom and text-based poems via chat are welcomed on the night too.
