The Unwanted Words Project is thrilled to celebrate a new edition of our popular open mic series, Queer Poetry Night, at Pakhuis De Zwijger. Get ready for an unforgettable evening filled with powerful words, heartfelt expressions, and a vibrant celebration of queer voices!

About the open mic

Gather your friends, partners, and anyone who cherishes the beauty of poetry, and come along to enjoy an amazing curated lineup of queer poets. The night doesn’t stop there – we also have an open mic section for anyone who feels inspired to share their words with a welcoming and supportive audience. Whether you’re an experienced performer or a first-time poet, this is your chance to shine. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with the community, share your story and be part of something truly special.

If you’ve signed up to read or perform at the open mic, we kindly ask that you arrive 15 minutes before the event starts.
