A Mic Of One’s Own

A new edition of A Mic of One’s Own, a series of collaborations between Kunstinstituut Melly and The Writer’s Guide (to the Galaxy)!

I Breathe, You Breathe

Inspired by donna Kukama’s exhibition I Breathe, You Breath in Melly we’re going to place the focus on the theme of “Breathe”. In this exhibition donna brings together sound, videos, paintings, drawings, sculptures, and performance documentation in which she approaches history as a living and breathing body.

Performers: we’re looking for you!

We invite you to do the same! You can take the theme as literally (a guided breath meditation, a stand up comedy piece about your partner’s morning breath) or poetically (a poem about the earth giving life to her children, a stream of consciousness about breath as a shared rhythm, where “I” and “you” dissolve into air… (ok, we don’t know where that came from)) as you want! Because we have limited space, we ask you to apply first. You can do so by filling in this application form by March 6th.

Do you simply want to come and listen? Get your free ticket here.
