Location: The London Music Club (470 Colborne St.)
Cover: PWYC Minimum $5
Poets who slam get in FREE if they bring a friend
Feature Poet: Kahsenniyo Wilson
Kahsenniyo is a Mohawk wolf from the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. She is one of the co-founders of Young Onkwehonwe United (Y.O.U.), a youth movement based out of Six Nations that is committed to creating positive opportunities for our youth to heal and learn. Kahsenniyo uses her spoken word poetry as a way of provoking thought, healing, and teaching about Indigenous issues here on Turtle Island. Her strong militant performances have moved audiences across the province.
Wondering where your $5 goes? The cover charges go towards venue rentals, a prize for the winner ($60), remuneration and travel expenses for our guest features, and if extra funds allow, prizes for the other finalists. The cash also covers our free workshops and incidental costs like photocopies, posters, etc.
anyone who has never enjoyed slam poetry before should really come and see this event.
Looking forward to participating in my first slam in the near future.
