About us:
We are getting ready for a fifth edition of the Queer Poetry Nights!
Unwanted Words is a platform in Rotterdam for new up & coming queer voices. We organize a monthly series of Queer Poetry Nights to create a safe space for queer expression and encourage all queer voices to take the mic and share their literary work.
Our new home is the Tender Center Rotterdam. Tender Center is a collective of feminist queers who are building the beginnings of a community center for culture; or venue for queer events in Rotterdam.
About the task:
We want to continuously reach new audiences and we are looking for ambassadors to promote our Queer Poetry Nights online and offline. This is a task that can be done remotely and whenever you have time. You can promote it with your peers or with communities you're part of.
If you would like to know more, you can contact us at: unwantedwordsproject@gmail.com
About Unwanted Words: Queer Poetry Nights
Most forms of literary expression are allowed, such as spoken word, poetry, op-eds, drama, performances, as long as the speakers commit to comply with the 10 minute maximum allocated time per person.
Our new home is the Tender Center Rotterdam. Tender Center is a collective of feminist queers who are building the beginnings of a community center for culture; or venue for queer events in Rotterdam.
Every edition we offer 5-6 spots for the line-up. The line-up for each edition is selected on a first-come, first served basis. If the line-up for that edition is complete, we will let you know and you can choose to still perform in the open mic section or to get a spot in our next edition.
After the line-up, we will have some spaces for open mic for writers and performers in the audience who feel inspired to share their work.
It is important to mention that we encourage freedom of speech and all forms of expression are allowed. However, we want to keep a safe space where both the speakers and the audience feel at home and we feel nurtured and safe. So any forms of hate speech or targeted attacks to a community, group or individual are not allowed.
