For those new to our community, a slam looks like …

🎤 A round of open mic performances who get scored by 'expert judges'....
.....who we randomly select from the audience,

🎤 A lot of feelings! you might even find your story in someone else's so brace yourself for an emotional rollercoaster.

Canberra Slam exists for the sharing and listening to of human stories.
We value community above all else.

All are welcomed and encouraged to share their stories.
All expressions of sexuality, gender, spirituality, beliefs, culture and diversity in experience is celebrated.

Community can be complicated -
We come from all walks of life, contrasting ways of seeing the world.
Hard conversations are easier when they are had with respect and empathy.

Poetry for the people.
