It was founded by the poet and organizer Christopher "KP" Brown (also known as KP ULTRA).Known affectionately as Breedlove, it operates as a welcoming, church-like, and supportive space designed for poets, musicians, and artists.The event encourages creatives to explore different types of freedom—spiritual, political, and creative. It operates on an empowering culture where the poem always belongs to the poet, encouraging writers to freely test out and workshop pieces.It regularly features live performances from both local and national poets, and provides a space for community healing and expression.The name is a direct homage to the protagonist, Pecola Breedlove, in Toni Morrison's seminal 1970 novel, The Bluest Eye. In the novel, Pecola is an eleven-year-old Black girl in a society that devastates those who don't fit the "blonde, blue-eyed" standard of beauty. The open mic's name reclaims her narrative, turning her story into a space centered on Black creative liberation and artistic self-love.SEASON 3 TITLE: MOUND BAYOU“Nestled in the heart of the Mississippi Delta lies a town with a history unlike any other in America. Mound Bayou, Mississippi stands as a living testament to Black self-determination, resilience, and entrepreneurship in the post-Civil War era.Mound Bayou was established in 1887 by cousins Isaiah T. Montgomery and Benjamin T. Green, both formerly enslaved on the Davis Bend plantation of Joseph and Jefferson Davis. The town's founding was no accident but rather the culmination of a carefully crafted vision for Black independence.Founded by formerly enslaved people and maintained as a self-governing Black community for generations, Mound Bayou's story” serves as a source of inspiration for this season of Pecola Breedlove & The Freedom Party.We encourage our followers and attendees to do further research into Mound Bayou as this story will serve as a muse for some of the poetry shared on our stage this season. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/c9924d10-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/c99d97b0-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582888-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/c9b0f8a0-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/c9bcb870-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/c9cd5a40-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582888-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/c9dd86e0-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.png https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/ca26ebf0-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/ca3320f0-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/ca80f2d0-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/ca9230e0-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/caa1e850-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/caaf7ce0-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/cac304e0-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/cad04b50-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/cae8b550-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/caf4c340-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/cb0209b0-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/cb1dcf10-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/cb2b3c90-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc582898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/cb3798a0-ab39-11f1-8ed1-0da50d238dff-rimg-w572-h740-dc483858-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/philadelphia/pecola-breedlove-and-the-freedom-party-breedlove-west-philly-poetry-event/100001988870352764 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, open-mic, entertainment, parties, music, workshops - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - Duration: 3 hours - Location: 5025 Baltimore Ave - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 108.55, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Philadelphia - **state**: PA - **country**: United States - **location**: 5025 Baltimore Ave - **lat**: 39.9480465 - **long**: -75.22438009999999 - **full address**: 5025 Baltimore Ave, 5025 Baltimore Avenue, Philadelphia, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Pecola Breedlove & The Freedom Party (Breedlove - West Philly Poetry Event) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/633715125d29ed4ae515ce4d242877632161757e97395301b71894c0eeeca84d-rimg-w1200-h1553-dc27262b-gmir.jpg?v=1778126612 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Pecola Breedlove & The Freedom Party (Breedlove - West Philly Poetry Event) being held? - **A:** Pecola Breedlove & The Freedom Party (Breedlove - West Philly Poetry Event) takes place on Tue, 30 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Tue, 29 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 pm at 5025 Baltimore Ave, 5025 Baltimore Avenue, Philadelphia, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Pecola Breedlove & The Freedom Party (Breedlove - West Philly Poetry Event)? - **A:** Pecola Breedlove & The Freedom Party (Breedlove - West Philly Poetry Event) is organized by Pecola Breedlove & The Freedom Party. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
