A monthly Open Mic held at Porters, Cardiff — a space for writers, poets, and performers to share work, test ideas, and connect through language.
Whether you’re bringing something new to the mic or just here to listen, you’re part of the creative process.
This months featured guest is Manganaro
Manganaro is a poet, performer, and event organiser. They’ve performed across the UK and their writing explores themes of identity, bilingual experience, everyday nuances, drawing on the personal side of political.
Manganaro was a 2025 Queer Bath award recipient, the 2024 DIVA Magazine Lesbian Visibility Week poetry competition winner, and have supported artists such as Alice Oswald. Their work has been featured on BBC upload and in exhibitions as part of Fringe Arts Bath. Within their residency at Emerge, Manganaro has explored the radical history uniting zines and writing,
producing a collection of poetry postcards. Manganaro studied Creative Writing at Bath Spa University, achieving a First Class Bachelor of Arts with Honours, and spent their placement year travelling around the UK engaging with various arts projects and festivals.
Manganaro is passionate about uplifting the local creative community, evident in co-founding Bath’s leading open mic poetry night Chimes, where they co-edited and self-published an anthology of attendees’ work. They programmed the poetry strand for Bath Arts Collective’s Curious Minds Festival 2026.
