UNQUIET: A Night of Creative Resistance is a gathering for poets, artists, and anyone drawn to the kind of work that pushes against the world as it is. This evening brings together voices and visions that challenge, disrupt, reimagine, and insist on something more - through poetry, visual art, and open mic expression.

This is a space for language that shakes loose what’s stuck, imagery that cuts through the noise, and creative work that won’t sit down. If you’ve felt the urge to speak, make, resist, or remake - this night is meant for you.

The Night:

-4–5 featured poets

-Open mic slots available at the end

-Unlimited visual art displays — bring pieces that provoke, hold space, disrupt, or soothe * A room full of people who believe art is one of our greatest powers Contributors are invited to explore any of the following themes - or bring something entirely their own:

Voice, silence, and what breaks through

- Imagination as rebellion

- Disobedience

- Community, care, and survival

- Rage and reclamation - Surveillance

- Liberation - Art as weapon / art as refuge

- Memory, history, and rewriting the narrative

- Loss and legacy

- Identity and intersectional study.

These themes should be seen as prompts, not limits. If your work pushes, questions, agitates, or dreams, it belongs here.

Why “Unquiet”? Because staying quiet has never protected us. Because creativity has always found cracks in the system. Because imagination is a political act. And because poetry and art become powerful when they refuse to shrink.
