Punq Noire Open Mic Night returns! Join us for an evening of music, comedy, poetry and more from our homegrown community + live performance by featured artist, Love's Echo!

Punq Noire has grown from a one-day music festival, film club, and monthly open mic series to a CT-based multi-media artist network centering culture bearers who fight oppression through art and daily life. Our mission is to expand the agenda of intersectional feminism and racial justice in creative industries by celebrating punk as a movement built by BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities.
