Public Programs

Since 2014, Surviving the Mic has produced compelling public programs, including open mics, writing workshops, curated theatre performances, media appearances, and virtual programming. StM has also produced a zine, Surviving Social Distance, and has curated series of poems for the Chicago Reader. Currently, StM facilitates a monthly, virtual writing workshop, Virtually Together, facilitated by Mojdeh Stoakley and generously supported by the Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Assault.

Surviving the Mic will resume in-person programming in the latter half of 2026.
