The Dissident Salon - Poetry, Prose, and Provocation: Hosted by Alissa Leed
Weekly multilingual salon hosted by Alissa Leed featuring a curated performer and open-mic poetry and prose sets
Join Alissa Leed for a night of thought-provoking poetry and prose at The Dissident Salon - where words ignite the soul.
The Dissident Salon is a weekly poetry and performance series created as an extension of the DISSIDENT club’s mission to provide a home for dissenting voices, hosted by Alissa Leeds. Rooted in the tradition of the literary salon, it treats writing and performance as public acts that question power and challenge the systems that shape our lives.
Each week features a curated performer, followed by open mic sessions open to all. Work may be presented in English, French, or other languages. Multilingual expression is central to the space and reflects the realities of exile, displacement, and exchange that define the DISSIDENT Club.
The Salon is an ongoing forum for people who speak publicly and think critically through art. It exists to build community and support sustained creative work within the broader ecosystem of the DISSIDENT club.
When: Every Tuesday, starting January 6th, 2026 Sign-ups: 8:00 PM Sets: Three 45-minute sessions at 9:00 PM, 10:00 PM, and 11:00 PM Where: the DISSIDENT club, 58 rue Richer, 75009
Bring work that confronts. We offer the microphone.
