Mother Tongue
Mother Tongue is an organisation passionate about supporting the voices of women, and gender diverse people who identify as women. The organisation centres around our live events and has become Melbourne’s biggest Woman’s Spoken Word event and one of the most established Spoken Word events in the city. It is hosted and run by Fleassy Malay and Brigid Morgan. A place for Passionate, Powerful, Vulnerable and Honest performance; it stands aside from, most Spoken Word events in its depth and authenticity.
We showcase all forms of the Spoken Word, including poetry, comedy, rap, song and storytelling. The key factor is that it is a platform for honest stories. Some of these stories are hard to hear, others are filled with joy and sensuality. All of these stories are welcome in our space. Mother Tongue is proud to have been a catalytic force in the emergence of many incredibly talented writers and performers.
