Radio Laria is a community collective that runs monthly events where poets, writers and storytellers can gather to share their expressions. Originally part of Girls on Key, Radio Laria prioritises featuring women and women-identifying poets, so as to create much needed opportunities. We are always actively seeking to feature poets who may not have received the recognition that they deserve. We also enjoy featuring storytellers or performance artists whose creativity gets overlooked by the mainstream entertainment avenues.
Another important part of our event is the open mic. There are ten spots available, a five-minute limit, sign up on the night and arriving early is recommended for sign up. Men are welcome to share on the open mic, but please be mindful that this is a night to promote women and women-identifying poets, and we ask that you behave respectfully. If you have another form of art, writing or storytelling that could be shared in five minutes, then we’d love to experience it!
