Sat 10 Oct, 5:30 pm–8 pm. The Art Space: Shillong, Nongthymmai. In More than one language.
Qala Kona - Shillong's first open mic community - is coming to The Art Space for a candlelit evening of live performances, followed by an open jamming session. Singers, poets, storytellers, stand-up comedians, rappers, magicians - all art forms and art admirers are welcome. No auditions, no judgment.
After the open mic, stick around for a laid-back jamming session - performers lead, everyone's invited to sing along. No stage, no mic, just a circle and candlelight.
