Lots of people with their backs to the camera sitting and watching someone standing at the mic, with art on a table in the foreground

Saturday, May 5, 7-10pm
It Looks Like It's Open, 13 E. Tulane Rd.
Join us for a night of political music, poetry, speeches, dance and other art!

Too often political movements and works of art are separated into different spheres, the public and the personal, where each is only tangentially related to the other. But art and politics have always been bound up together. Art isn’t just often about political movements–it’s a living part of them.

A People’s Open Mic is meant to intentionally celebrate the political side of art and the artistic side of political movements. Bring your own art, or bring somebody else’s. We are living in a unique political moment, and we want to find the art that moves us, that speaks to this moment.
