A unique evening of performances by the Kiota Community! We invite those from the Global Majority with poems, songs, stories or other forms of artistry to sign up for our open mic night


People from the Global Majority, who may or may not identify as Artists, are invited to come and share their poems, songs, movement, theatre pieces etc in the supportive cosy nest of the Kiota community.

Hosted by Kiota’s Artistic Director, Aisha Ali (They/them) the space is not only for sharing work in all stages of creation, but to meet others and grow this wonderful community.
