We are Chilli Jam Open Mic – an alternative space for poetry, music, and stories.
As multiply-diverse creatives, we know there must be more of us out there. We believe that creatives benefit from having platforms to listen, share, and connect. We also recognise that genuinely welcoming spaces are hard to find for those of us from underrepresented backgrounds..
We founded Chilli Jam Open Mic because we saw a need for a space that:
- Welcomes performers and audiences from all backgrounds,
- Encourages and empowers diverse voices to speak and be heard, and
- Enables creatives to connect and grow in community with each other.
Our stage is open, and you – all of you – are invited.
You can follow us on Instagram at @chillijamopenmic (with two Ls) or on Facebook at Chilli Jam Open Mic.
