Indie Queer Choir Fest: Music and Activism Workshop

February 15 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm

This year’s LGBTQ+ History month theme is Activism and Social Change. Led by musicians and community advocates MIRI and Mila, this workshop will explore and demonstrate how we can use music and words to activate awareness on causes that are important to us and as an outlet to express ourselves.

There will be an ice breaker, songwriting exercises and a facilitated discussion providing examples of LGBTQ+ artists and public figures who use their music and platforms to cultivate change.

About MIRI:

MIRI describes herself as a boutique singer-songwriter and community advocate. Her brand of soulful pop has been heard on BBC radio shows including Jasmine Dotiwala’s BBC London show and BBC6 Music with Gemma Cairney along with countless independent and community stations. Whilst MIRI’s music weaves stories, it’s her day-to-day life that she uses for inspiration. She is not afraid to tackle tough subjects and shares her experiences candidly.

About Mila:

Mila is a singer-songwriter and community facilitator. She was originally a young person on a Girls Rock London youth camp and has now gone on to Facilitate projects for GRL, Wigmore Hall and more. She is also a co-founding member of live music and jam night CROSSTALK.
