London Hackney Chinese Community Centre
Free (accepting donations for HCCC on the night)
A night of poetry and spoken word featuring some of the best BESEA poets in the UK! Raising money for Hackney Chinese Community Centre.
Join us as we celebrate our amazing British based East and South East Asian poets! Tickets are free and we will be raising donations for the Hackney Chinese Community Services on the night so they can keep doing all their amazing work!
This event will showcase a number of brilliant poets who will perform and take part in a panel. There will be an interval where audience and poets can have a casual chat. Full lineup coming soon!
BESEAP founder Christy Ku has been an active performer in London's open mic circuit for the last 5 years, but struggled to find many other ESEA poets. She set up the BESEAP Instagram page to platform, connect and elevate artists, and we are excited to launch our first live event! https://www.instagram.com/beseapoets/
This event will be a safe space, welcoming those who identify as ESEA and for allies. We believe in protecting intersectional identities. There is zero tolerance for any racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia etc.
We ask that all attendees wear a mask during the event and we will be working with HCCC to ensure everyone is safe.
