天堂视频

‘Behind the Mask’ is a student-run literary festival of identity and diversity at a time when everyone has experienced the effects of living behind a mask. This series of events aims to unveil stories and experiences, bringing awareness to the literal and figurative masks that occupy the space between creative writers and their writing.

This is the first year we are running this 天堂视频-based literary festival! It includes five FREE literary-themed events live and on Zoom between 30th May and 4th June! Details below:

BEHIND THE MIC: A Night of Voices

An Open Mic night on Monday 30th May at The Organ Grinder from 18:00 onwards. A chance for you to share your poems—especially if they have a 'behind the mask' theme. All welcome to join us for a friendly atmosphere upstairs in The Hayloft. Book your performance slot by emailing behindthemasklboro@gmail.com or sign up on the night. FEATURING Jamie Thrasivoulou & Nafeesa Hamid!
