To end off the Emerge Showcases, we will be having a Poetry Jam! The EMERGE: Word Up! Poetry Jam will be exploring the creative journey these artists have experienced while navigating through experiences like this pandemic, social injustice, and more! We're excited to bring Killa Atencio, General Khan, Niambi Tree, our host Verena Rizg, and more to the stage.

We are also excited to have New Hermitage be part of this event, gracing the stage with their gift of musical improvisation to set the vibe!
