About this Event

Artists Against Apartheid & The Midnight Hour Collective present: a generative poetry workshop and salon centered on domestic and global liberation, led by Courtney Symone Staton. Come gather in community to write towards Black liberation and the liberation of Palestine, Sudan, the Congo, and an end to American militarism.

This workshop is free to attend. Poets are encouraged but not required to read their work at The Midnight Hour: Reading for Revolution, a related, pay-what-you-can reading series. All proceeds for Series 1 go to the Oakland People's Arms Embargo & Anti-Police Terror Project.

Previous Themes: Who Made the Bomb? | Where Is It Going?

This Month's Theme: How Can We Stop It?

Masks are highly encouraged. If you're feeling sick, please stay home!


Writing workshops every 2nd Sunday. Readings every last Sunday.

Both of these spaces seek to prioritize and uplift the voices of Black, Brown, Indigenous people as well as members of the disabled and queer communities. If you are a member of one or multiple of those communities especially, pull up!
