Unwanted Words is a platform born in Rotterdam for new up & coming queer voices. We seek to offer opportunities for queer connection and growth such as our Queer Poetry Nights series, spoken word workshops and digital content that promote and amplify queer voices from an intersectional approach. Our goal as a platform is to create spaces for LGBTQ+ talent to thrive and connect with like-minded communities.
The event in Framer Framed will be part of this continuous series of Queer Poetry Nights by The Unwanted Words. The collaboration was inspired by the Framer Framed collaboration with the LIMBO collective. LIMBO started as a project that welcomes all queer individuals with a refugee background to create meaningful interactions, knowledge and skill acquisition.
This event is also part of the Queer Current festival.
We encourage all queer voices to take the mic and share their literary work. Most forms of literary expression are allowed, such as spoken word, poetry, op-eds, drama, performances, as long as the speakers commit to comply with the 5 minute maximum allocated time per person. It is important to mention that we encourage freedom of speech and all forms of expression are allowed. However, we want to keep a safe space where both the speakers and the audience feel at home and we feel nurtured and safe. So any forms of hate speech or targeted attacks to a community, group or individual are not allowed.
We also take pictures and video during the event. If you would prefer not to have your picture or video taken, please let us know in advance.
