Coming from different backgrounds, different generations, different styles, cultures and genres, they will take the stage to present themselves and their creations. An inclusive evening with readings from indigenous people as well as the LGBTQ+ community. Poetry and slam will be in the spotlight.
Interviews, with questions from the audience, will allow us to get to know them better both in personal and career terms.
