COVID-19 has impacted every aspect of our day-to-day lives–physically, economically, socially, and educationally. As part of the Geisel School of Medicine 2021 MLK Day Celebration, we created UNMUTED, a platform for community members to share their stories and reflect on the myriad ways the pandemic has impacted them. This could include stories of illness, financial struggles, mental health, and silver linings.

We hope that this time will help to eliminate the anonymity of the COVID-19 crisis in our community and bring us closer together. To that end, we invite you to submit proposals for a 3-5 minute performance in any creative format --story, essay, spoken word, song, video, or dance -- to be shared in a live stream with the community at large. Performances can be submitted anonymously and shared live, read by the event’s Emcees, or pre-recorded.

This event is free and all are welcome.
