Ethiopian Eats
Start the weekend sitting virtual front row at the next Slam Nuba, a monthly performance poetry event that features renowned poets and storytellers from across the country, many of whom call Denver home. Slam Nuba began back in 2007, with Colorado Poet Laureate Bobby LeFebre and Slammaster Suzi Q. Smith among its earliest members. Now the current collective based at RedLine Contemporary Art Center continues to promote the power of poetry and literary engagement in marginalized communities, and will dedicate the final Friday of Black History Month to a double feature with Denver’s own Artsy Q and Baltimore-based Ephraim Nehemiah.
Sandwiches, sauce and the Super Bowl are all on the menu over the next few days, to counter all the sweetness coming up for Valentine s Day (see our list of some tasty options here).
Keep reading for events this weekend, as well as more coming up in the remaining weeks of February.
