Canberra Slam is holding a little after party to celebrate the launch of Fierceland, the new novel by Omar Musa.
This book highlights experiences and stories that resonate across south east Asian culture as a whole, and celebrates the resilience of BIPOC people.
In 2022 when Canberra Slam began it was born from a need to have a safe space where BIPOC stories could be celebrated.
So It’s only right that we host a little after party for Fierceland!
There’s more to be announced but for now we can let you know there will be;
Curated performances from Canberras best BIPOC poets!
- Live visual ART!
- FREE south east Asian food!
- A FEATURE SET from non other than OMAR MUSA!
