Hosted by City of Victoria’s Poet Laureate, Marie Metaphor Specht.

FEATURING Delani Valin (author of Shapeshifters) with Wendy Donawa (award-nominated poet) and an All-Women’s Open Mic with Spoken Word poet Luna Piscetta!

Sign-up for the Open Mic in person 7:00-7:20pm (10-12 poets in total)

We welcome any poets identifying as a woman, trans women, non-binary women, 2SLGBTQ+ women.

All poetic forms, styles and traditions are welcome in this safe community space (with a zero tolerance for homophobia, misogyny, racism, or hate).

Annually, the VAC collaborates with different community partners to continue to recognize the importance of International Women’s Day as a signal that more is needed to address misogyny around the world.

We are proud to co-produce exhibitions and events to foster a message of inclusion and support for all women-identified artists.
