Night of storytelling and spoken word through the full spectrum of emotions

Radio Laria is a community collective that runs monthly events where poets, writers and storytellers can gather to share their expressions.  Originally part of Girls on Key, Radio Laria prioritises featuring women and women-identifying poets, so as to create much needed opportunities.  We are always actively seeking to feature poets who may not have received the recognition that they deserve. We also enjoy featuring storytellers or performance artists whose creativity gets overlooked by the mainstream entertainment avenues.
