"Violence Against Women" @ Bangkok Poetry / 27 November

Please join us on Wednesday, November 27 @ 8:00PM for Bangkok Poetry at WTF Cafe and Gallery. The theme is "Violence Against Women," and is inspired by the International Day Against Violence
Against Women. You can read more about this global effort at the website for UN Women.

ALL PERFORMANCE SPOTS FOR THE EVENT ARE BOOKED -- IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE PUT ON THE WAITLIST, PLEASE CONTACT US.

There will be twelve (12) performance spots available, 5-7 minutes each. For this event we are giving priority to performers/artists who engage the theme. So if you're interested in performing a poem, song, film, graphic novelette, musical amalgamation, or story that in some way addresses "Violence Against Women," then email ASAP: bangkokpoetry@gmail.com . We are open to submissions in both English and Thai.

If you've attended events at WTF before, you'll remember that the performance space is quite small, seating very limited. This will be an intimate evening, so be sure to arrive early to reserve your place.

"Emergency!" @ Bangkok Poetry / March 28

As you know, Opposite (our fantastic host venue) is currently being gutted, carpentered, and plastered into its new incarnation: the restaurant and bar Opposite Mess Hall. It's going to be awesome! And we're excited to be part of their series of re-opening events in early May -- more on that soon!

But, my friends, the muse cannot wait! So it's time for some emergency poetry (and fiction and spoken word and film and music and...).

Please join us on Thursday, March 28th @ 8:00PM for a special Bangkok Poetry at our old venue, WTF Cafe and Gallery (back across the alley from Opposite).The theme is, yes, "Emergency!"

Think O'Hara's "Meditations in an Emergency," or the "Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures" that UN relief workers get up to, or the sci-fi-but-sadly-not vision of "The Long Emergency" of climate change, or even Don Henley's "New York Minute" (..."somebody's going to emergency, somebody's going to jail.") Or think whatever ya damnwell please. But be creative, surprise yourself, and see what inspires you to create something new!

There will be only eight (8) performance spots available, 5-7 minutes each. So if you're interested in performing a poem, song, film, graphic novelette, musical amalgamation, or story, then email ASAP: bangkokpoetry@gmail.com .

If you've attended events at WTF before, you'll remember that the performance space is quite small, seating very limited. So it'll be an intimate, old-school, speakeasy, sidle-up-to-your neighbor kinda happening.

We're excited to be back at WTF for this special event, and hope to see you there!
