The Unwanted Words Project is thrilled to celebrate spoken word poetry, storytelling, op-eds, drama and music, with our popular open mic series, Queer Poetry Night, at Pakhuis De Zwijger – Amsterdam’s independent cultural center. Organic, joyous and spontaneous, this event, produced and hosted by Tuaca Kelly, draws professional, amateur and first-time performers from far and wide. Get ready for an unforgettable evening filled with powerful words, heartfelt expressions and a vibrant celebration of real human voices!
Queer Poetry Nights are free, community-centered open mic events for LGBTQIA+ poets, spoken word artists, storytellers, and performers. Expect poetry, spoken word, and the occasional surprise in a safer space where authenticity and respect come first.
