Anonymous Open Mic: Radical Mental Health Series

Free Event
Doors at 6:30pm
Submission Theme: Social Justice

Anonymous Open Mic is a storytelling project working to build a community narrative around mental illness and madness in Pittsburgh. Anyone can submit a poem, spoken word piece, or short story about mental health, mental illness, madness, substance use / addiction, trauma, etc to perform at the event. We also have the opportunity for anonymous submissions: anyone who would like to share their story has the option to submit a piece anonymously and protect their identity. Community members can then volunteer to perform the anonymous work in front of a live audience on behalf of the anonymous storyteller.

This event is part of the Radical Mental Health Series, sponsored by Opportunity Fund. Learn more about the series at http://insideourminds.org/radical-mental-health/

Ongoing support for Anonymous Open Mic provided by Staunton Farm Foundation.
