Join poets from MSU and the greater Lansing community as they write and perform original works inspired by the dynamic intersections of culture, technology, and music, exploring the personal, political, and social landscapes shaped by Techno. This competition will feature poets vying for three cash prizes, with the top performers selected by community judges from the audience.
This special edition of the MSU Museum’s Poetry Slam is hosted by Natasha T. Miller, the MSU Museum’s Community Engagement Manager and a three-time top five finalist in the Women of the World Poetry Slam, in collaboration with the RCAH Center for Poetry.
Whether you are a fan of spoken word or a devotee of techno’s powerful legacy, this event promises an unforgettable fusion of rhythm, word, and energy.
Following the Poetry Slam will be a DJ set by Detroit Techno artist Adriel.
