Welcome to the second episode of Live at the Hague! A podcast series recorded at the Creative City Centre in the Hague Gallery, a third floor concert venue and visual art gallery.

In this episode, I am really excited to share a performance and interview with Winnipeg spoken word artist Chimwemwe Undi. Chim is an avid human, a laugh track and a poet. She was a featured artist at the 2014 Canadian Festival of Spoken Word, and is currently a director of Winnipeg’s Voices, Ink. Youth Slam and a returning ensemble member at the upcoming Victoria Spoken Word Festival. Her full name is 24 points in Scrabble. Chim’s work grapples with identity, love, mental illness and why Beyonce won’t text her back.

It was recorded live on February 20, 2015 in the Hague Gallery at the Creative City Centre in downtown Regina, Saskatchewan.
