Featured Artists
We are looking for poets, writers, musicians, dancers, visual artists, and other performing artists to share an original piece pertaining to social justice or change. Each performer will have about five minutes to showcase their work. If you or someone you know would be interested in sharing their talent, we would love to hear from you. You can contact us via email at contact@bonkseries.org, phone at 262-989-2930, or on Facebook.
This month’s event will be part of 100 Thousand Poets for Change, a grassroots organization that brings communities together to call for environmental, social, and political change within the framework of peace and sustainability. An event that began primarily with poet organizers, 100 Thousand Poets for Change has grown into an interdisciplinary coalition with year-round events with various performers from around the world.
