Open Mic: Burqa Project Edition

AAWW’s open mic series provides a safe space to forge new art and communities. We’ve seen unpublished writers and legendary authors, sparked book deals, and hosted comedy, spoken word, music, poetry, memoir, fiction, and more.

Featured presenter Ayesha Akhtar will break down The Burqa Project, in which she asks men to dress in burqas and captures them going about their daily lives.

This event is open to the public, with a $5 suggested donation. Come early to sign up for a 5-minute slot! Program starts at 7 PM.

Co-sponsored by the South Asian Women’s Creative Collective.
