The Nossrat Yassini Poetry Festival at UNH will celebrate the power of poetry to unify, bring people together, and build a better community. Poetry is the oldest literary art form and the one we turn to in times of great joy, sorrow, and inspiration. Because we treasure and remember the poems that have influenced our lives, celebrating poetry can bring us together in uniquely powerful ways.  

This world class festival will bring together poets, students, teachers, and poetry lovers of all kinds to experience the poetic richness of New Hampshire and the New England community.

Spotlighting the History Makers & Pioneers who have shaped community, culture & change.

Black. documents the history of Boston’s Black Queer & Trans defiance and possibility. 

#HellaBlack Vol 6: Sacred — curated by Amanda Shea — asks the performing artists to embody and present what makes them feel grounded in their creation. The artists will showcase how this sense of safety, security, and secrecy influences their artistic expression.

Now in its 6th year, #HellaBlack is an interdisciplinary performance event curated by and for Black artists, to amplify the depth of Black artistry, and shine a bright light on the talent of Boston’s Black artists and their communities. This event is meant to create a safe space for the Black community to celebrate intersections of Blackness through dance, art, spoken word, and music, to dispel the myth of Blackness as a monolith. This annual signature event is part of a commitment to move towards race equity at BCA.
