A relaxed and revolutionary performance space with the m/other of all line-ups.
Join Lizzy Humber, local m/others and guest m/other artists for a daytime open mic with songs, poetry, comedy and stories. These are a relaxed and lively spaces for grown ups, but children are welcome and supported to be themselves, no shhing required. The artistic voices and stories of m/others are platformed, but everyone is welcome within the audience. Expect an uplifting, supportive and empowering hour (and a bit) – in the middle of the day! So whether you’re in need of a bit of culture, a community or just an early lunch break – you are welcome!
WHAT’S ON:
M/Others on the Mic @ Reclaim Festival
Make it stand out
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
“This event was epic! It felt supremely radical to witness the talented bill of poets and singer-songwriters – all of them mothers – whilst sharing the space with our children who were welcome, unapologetically, as their whole selves."
"A great event - so helpful to hear an honest voice about motherhood, parenthood, otherhood."
