About the Event
Thank you for your interest in participating as an artist in our event The Border is a Metaphor!
The Border is a Metaphor is a powerful Poetry Slam centered on Immigration, where voices rise to honor the journeys, struggles, and resilience of immigrant communities.
In a time when immigration is criminalized and misunderstood, we believe in the power of poetry to humanize and illuminate. This slam is not only a competition; it is a stage for stories that often go unheard, a space to honor identity, migration, resilience, memory, and home.
If you would like to participate please adhere to the rules below and register with us (here) and submit your poem (link below).
This two-round slam invites 12 poets to share their truth through spoken word:
• Round One: A poem rooted in the lived experience of immigration—whether your own or that of your family or community.
