GARAM MASALA EP.05 - PICNIC AND OPEN MIC

Hello Garam Masala community! <3
Join us for a magical picnic blended with an open mic experience in the beautiful Jardim da Estrela. 🌳🧺✨

What to Bring:

• Food to share, along with your favorite drink. Please label allergens (nuts, dairy, gluten) and dietary preferences (veg/vegan).
• A comfy picnic blanket to sit on.
• Your own plate (Tupperware), cup, and cutlery to minimize single-use plastic waste.
• A story, poem, or music piece that you’ve written or come across that you’d like to share.

Theme:

This time, we invite you to explore the theme of HEAT 🔥—whether it’s the intensity of temperature or the sensation it evokes. Share how heat transforms moments into desire, joy, or something profound. You're free to present new works or previously published pieces, with each story or poem lasting up to 10 minutes.

Evening Schedule:

• 7pm - 8pm: Arrival at Jardim da Estrela, settling in, and enjoying a meal.
• 8pm - 10pm: Sharing stories and poetry.
• 10pm onwards: Feel free to linger; the park stays open until midnight!

Community Values:

We maintain a welcoming space; hate speech and harassment will not be tolerated. Let’s celebrate our diverse backgrounds and cultures in a safe environment.

Garam Masala invites everyone in Lisbon to gather, cherishing our rich heritage through skin, songs, dance, and food. We’re a collective of brown folks from four continents, eager to share our stories over chai and samosas.

Location: Coreto do Jardim da Estrela
