Bombing of Poems

Grab the mic at Museumnacht!

Let’s talk about a kind of love we don’t celebrate enough. Not the kind you see in movies or hear about in love songs, but something deeper - the love we show to ourselves.

If you’re a poet or spoken word artist with a story to share, we’d love for you to join us on stage. To apply, simply fill out the form below and submit your work - just make sure it reflects our open mic theme, The love I forgot to give.

One ticket, two Saturdays, two festivals with one goal: more art for you
