IN PERSON
Volta will be held in-person in the Tiered Theatrette from 6pm at the Brisbane Square Library.
VOLTA 7 JULY 2023 includes a special performance by our feature artist and zine maker Sam Quyên Huỳnh, followed by an open mic session and zine swap!
To take part in our in-person open mic: Book your free ticket below, then sign up at the door on the night. Each slot is a maximum of 3 minutes on the mic! And we’ll have a limited number of slots available, so first in first served.
To take part in the zine swap: We'll have a table set up to swap zines and chapbooks. Bring some zines, take some zines - it’s zine reciprocity :) We’ll also have some social time at the end of the evening so you can mingle, chat and swap zines.
BOOK YOUR FREE TICKET BELOW.
Accessibility: This venue is wheelchair accessible.
COVID Safety: QP encourages you to: stay home if you feel unwell; maintain social distancing; use hand sanitiser; and consider wearing a mask.
