Open Mic with AFLO the Poet

Back for a third year – AFLO the Poet invites you to join us for an evening of punchy poetics that promise to queer the status quo of the spoken word landscape. 

More poets to be announced!

Doors at 5.30pm. Arrive early to register your interest in performing at the Open Mic.

AFLO. the poet is an award-winning Brighton-based spoken word artist, activist and academic who embraces creative expression to disrupt the status quo and inspire social change. From protests on the streets of Brighton, to celebrations in hills of Jamaica, AFLO. has shared her rhythmic rhymes far and wide and has no intentions of stopping. Her highlights from 2024 so far include continuing her residency at Brighton Dome, featuring in Verve Poetry Festival, and heading to the magical fields of Glastonbury to share her work and host the open mic on the Poetry & Words stage.
