Join us on Wednesday, June 5 from 6:30 - 8 pm for Speak Something Alive: Spoken Word Poetry at Silverwood on the outdoor stage.
Across the globe, the spoken word movement has reignited poetry as a force for artistic expression, critical dialogue, and community-building. As both a form (writing poetry that is meant to be shared aloud) and a deeper cultural practice (tracing its roots back millennia), spoken word creates space for all of us to tell our stories, make our values concrete, and speak up about the issues and ideas that matter to us.
For this event, two-time National Poetry Slam champion Kyle Tran Myhre (aka Guante) will present a lineup of some of the boldest, most boundary-pushing writers and performers from the Twin Cities spoken word community: Sagirah Shahid, Kevin Yang, Ollie Schminkey, and Ty Chapman.
