Power of creative expression
At Open Mic Palestine, we believe in the power of creative expression. We are a vibrant and inclusive platform that aims to gather the diverse voices of Palestinians and non-Palestinians alike, from all walks of creativity and life. So far, we have organised OMP events across the West Bank in Ramallah, Bethlehem, Nablus as well as Hebron.
Through the power of spoken word, poetry, song writing, music, stand-up comedy, storytelling and art in general, we create a safe and empowering space where individuals can share their unique experiences, perspectives, and aspirations. We have been trusted by many wonderful creatives such as Daniela Massou, Kokym, Khaled Yahia, Amer Zahr, Jessi Jabrieh, to name a few.
Our Values:
Inclusivity: We embrace diversity and welcome participants from all backgrounds, irrespective of age, gender, religion, sexual identity, ability level or ethnicity. Our stage is open to all Palestinians and their allies who stand in solidarity with our cause.
Empowerment: Open Mic Palestine aims to empower individuals by providing them with a non-judgemental platform to express themselves freely and fearlessly. We believe that by sharing our human stories, we can break down barriers, challenge misconceptions, foster understanding and, as a result, strengthen the sense of unity through diversity in our community.
Creativity: Art and creativity have always played an essential role in Palestinian culture. We celebrate the arts and encourage creative individuals of all kinds to share their work, be it through poetry, music, storytelling, or visual arts.
Community: Open Mic Palestine is more than just an open mic event; it’s a supportive community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for storytelling and creative expression. We foster connections, friendships and collaborations that extend beyond the stage.
Our Vision:
At Open Mic Palestine, we envision a future where Palestinian voices reverberate across the world, dispelling ignorance and building bridges of empathy and understanding. We dream of a world where our stories are heard, our struggles acknowledged, and our dreams celebrated.
