About Sheer Margins
Sheer Margins is an open mic and performance series seeking to highlight new voices in poetry, spoken word, and music, curated by poets Christina Rodriguez and Ellie Malka.
Static is cool, but we like to push the margins by setting up in a new place for each show. We travel to different locations around Chicago to bring life to venues that are dedicated to the arts such as bookstores and other creative nooks.
We have a 10-slot open mic followed by four features, three poets and one musician at every show.
We are an open, safe space for all communities and are especially interested in featuring work by people of color and LGBTQIA community, as well as new and emerging talent (but if you’ve been around a while, we want you too!)
