Events & Calendars VOICES 2019

La Causa is hosting its 22nd VOICES Spoken Word Event! VOICES is the largest free ALANA (African/Latino/Asian/Native American) spoken-word concert in the Northeast. The event is meant to expose the Amherst College campus and Five College area to the diversity, complexity and power of the national ALANA poetry scene and to combat the underrepresentation of literary examples in schools by promoting cultural literacy.

This year’s VOICES will bring together seven established poets on one stage, for an evening of poetic engagement that decolonizes the arts within the Five Colleges. This event has become a hallmark for students of color and a campus favorite, receiving 250+ guests each year. We hope that everyone will join us on Dec. 7 at 5:30 p.m. in the Powerhouse!
