TRANSPOESIE comes back this year for its 15th edition! 👄
🩷 Ensure you register for the event on Friday via this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfDXVwGI_rUiUnL3VSqkna9vYL0X7j1YMCsp3E0Xo4YKqd5mQ/viewform?usp=header Inspired by the successful and longstanding edition of Poems on the Underground in London and Wiersze w Metrze in Warsaw, now in its fourth edition, as well as similar projects run in various cities all over the world, EUNIC in Brussels is bringing European poetry into the Brussels metro system for the first time. For the celebration of the European Day of Languages on September 26th and the promotion of cultural diversity in the European Union, a collection of poems by aspiring or established artists from all across Europe will be displayed in their original language for the duration of at least one month. The selected poems will represent a wide variety of European styles and perspectives, reflecting the national character of each participating member institute of EUNIC. Since the project also aims to establish a connection with the Brussels local community, all poems will be translated into French and Dutch, allowing every passenger to enjoy the work of the artists and transform their daily routine commute into an inspiring journey. For enthused travellers, who would like to discover more about the poets, their work, share their thoughts or even express their talent and present a few poetry lines of their own, an interactive website gathering the poems - currently under construction (www.transpoesie.eu) - will be dedicated to the project. For the launch of the campaign on the European Day of Languages on the 26th of September a number of events around poetry, multilingualism and cultural diversity will be organised by EUNIC in Brussels with the support of multiple partners including all EUNIC in Brussels member institutes, the STIB and the international house of literature Passa Porta.
