PoC Open Mic is back this August in East Helsinki!
Come join us on Wednesday 27.8 at PoC Open Mic @ Urban Apa x Stoa Festival in Itäkeskus to sing, joke, recite and rant away!
PoC = Person of Colour
PoC Open Mic Helsinki = An open mic event where BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and Persons Of Colour), members of groups racialised as non-white, and those from ethnic minorities, get a chance to perform.
At our upcoming event, organised in collaboration with Urban Apa X Stoa Festival, we return to Cultural Centre Stoa after a successful event last year, an once again offer a mic, a stage and a supportive audience.
All you need to do is turn up, tell us you want to go on, and the stage is yours!
Our event is a great chance for beginning artists, especially first timers and newbies, to sing, perform, rap, tell stories, crack jokes, make music and rant away in any language.
PoC Open Mic Helsinki is a safer space for people of colour and racialised minorities to be heard and seen and experienced by their community of colour. Friends who do not belong to racialised minorities are welcome to join the audience, enjoy the energy, and give our stars some love.
For this special edition in Itäkeskus, we will have spoken word, comedy, and a bit of hosting by PoC Open Mic’s very own:
Tania Nathan @the_chindian_queen and Arvind Ramachandran @arvindrchn
We also promise an unforgettable musical act by our incredible headliner, Adityan @adityan_with_an_n
Last but not the least, the best part of all:
Open mic = register on the spot and the mic is yours
Doors 18:30.
Showtime 19:00 - 20:30
Free entry. Children welcome.
See you!
