Oxford Women in Black hold a silent vigil for Peace and Justice every Saturday from 2pm to 3pm at the Martyrs Memorial, bottom of St Giles, Oxford.
Contact oxfordwib@gmail.com to go on our WhatsApp group for up to date information about forthcoming vigils.

This talk by performance poet Max Terry Fishel offers an insight into the world of spoken word poetry, a burgeoning creative space open to everyone. Max will describe a typical open mic spoken word event, and talk about his own journey in this form of poetry. He will illustrate the talk with several of his own pieces, some on political issues, others on a range of topics. Max will also discuss performance techniques, as this is integral to his approach in making this art form accessible to audiences. He hopes that he will inspire audience members to seek out open mic events, and even try their hand at writing and performing!

Meetings start with a buffet at 7:30pm followed by a talk at 8:00pm, then discussion at about 9:00pm.

All meetings are free of charge. Voluntary donations welcome. No need to book. If you can, please bring some vegetarian/vegan food and drink to share.

WiB - London meets every Wednesday, around the statue of Edith Cavell in St Martin’s Place 6-7. We are very happy to welcome new women to the vigils – even if they can only come once in a while.

Women in Black vigils take place at the War Memorial, Old Steine, Brighton.
