Poetry Jam is back! On Saturday, October 19th, at Tekstin Talo the theme is emptiness.

 

Emptiness can signify free time, a state of mind, a sense of space, and much more. It can also be approached not merely as absence but as a space filled with potential. This time, we won’t flee from emptiness; instead, we will explore what it might encompass: time, timelessness, darkness, light, absence, or creative power. What does your emptiness consist of?

How does a full evening of people blend with the theme of emptiness? Come and experience it with fellow poetry enthusiasts!

The program starts at 6 PM in the Permantosali on the first floor.

 

Performers of the evening are:

Collin Ngiesi

Oteanankanduro

Ellala & Parviainen with their performance “Tässä olisit”

 

After the invited guests, there will be four curated open mic performers. Each performer gets 10-15 minutes, which they can use fully or emptily. Do you have emptiness-themed texts? Would you be interested in performing? Sign up at hpc.openmic@gmail.com by October 11th, 2024, sharing something about your performance and yourself.

 

Poetry Jams adhere to safer space principles, which can be found on our website.

Accessibility information for Tekstin Talo is available on their website.

The event is produced by Helsinki Poetry Connection and Nuoren Voiman Liitto.
