This November, Spoke & Bird brings to you the words of a multi talented veteran of Singapore's spoken word scene, a pioneering improv-poet and co-founder of the spacer,gif collective and Destination Ink herself, Charlene Shepherdson!

Charlene Shepherdson’s work includes interactive narratives, visual poetry, and the intersection where environment, heritage and education meet. She uses language in written, performative and visual forms to bridge communities and empower voices. She co-founded the Singapore’s oldest interdisciplinary open-mic, destination:INK, hosting the event from 2012 to 2017. Her words have been published in various anthologies, including From Walden to Woodlands and A Luxury We Cannot Afford.

The open mic will run as usual with 12 5-minute slots available. Each open mic-er will be given 5 minutes to perform any number of poems. For more details, click on the event link provided below.
