Runokuu’s Poetry Jam in Tiivistämö brings together amazing performances featuring spoken word acts combined with music, visual art and dance. This year’s Runokuu has the theme ‘Borders’ and this will be explored through different languages and performances.

This year’s performers are Rosanna Fellman and Sophia Mitiku, as well as Shanna Miruna and Wilma-Emilia Kuosa that were chosen via open call. Music will be provided by DJ Juanes Soyagua. This event is produced by HPC Board members Tania Nathan and Kirsi-Marja Moberg, and they will be hosting the evening together as well.

Poetry Jam also will have a Borders themed Open Mic segment, and 5 poets will be chosen to perform. If you would like to be one of them, apply through helsinkipoetryconnection(at)gmail(dot)com and tell us what sort of piece you would like to perform. The Open Mic segments spots are max 4 minutes long, and will be held after the main performances.
