einaidea poesia x Renata Gelosi:
Like a sport

Wednesday, 14 May: Walk curated by Renata Gelosi with the voices of Fabricio Garcia Morales, Mel Mustefaga, Marta Nieto Postigo, and Isabel Rabassa

Poetry happens in space and bodies, we are all part of what is taking place. The gathering, the presence, the present. A space-time for the discovery of a "nos/otres" (us/others), to allow ourselves to be pierced by the environment and the word. What does naming move? To mention, and to mention again, so that repetition opens worlds in the body. To proceed, blindfolded, to listen, towards an encounter, without knowing too well what is about to happen.

On 14 May, led by artist, poet, and editor Renata Gelosi, einaidea poesia will be set adrift on the borders of the Collserola Natural Park. Approaching the walk as a "setting in space" of the poetic act, the encounter will be structured through guidelines and readings that will guide our wandering.

The route will begin in Eina Bosc to continue towards the Carretera de las Aigües. During the itinerary, the voices of Fabricio Garcia Morales, Mel Mustefaga, Marta Nieto Postigo, Isabel Rabassa, and Renata herself will accompany the walk through its various pauses and activations.



einaidea poesia x Mohamad Bitari

Wednesday, 27 November: Afternoon reading with poets Samer Abu Hawwash, Vivi Alfonsín and David Caño, with musical accompaniment by Neus Ballbé
Monday, 16 December: Afternoon reading with poets Mireia Calafell, Blanca Llum Vidal, Karima Ziali, with musical accompaniment by Sayed Raían

This autumn, einaidea poesia presents two sessions of reading and poetic exploration curated by Mohamad Bitari, Palestinian playwright, editor and poet from Syria based in Barcelona. This two-part poetry reading takes the Mediterranean diaspora and its complex relationships with the Catalan and Spanish context as its starting point, navigating the spaces of ebb and flow, exchange and porosity between languages. Poetry as a vehicle of resistance, healing, mourning and liberation places literary work in the face of the hardships of exile and the need to regenerate roots and affective territories. The event as an experiment between multiple levels of verbal and sound existences in Catalan, Arabic, Spanish and Amazigh. The event will feature, on 27 November, the poets Samer Abu Hawwash, Vivi Alfonsín and David Caño, with musical accompaniment by Neus Ballbé; and on 16 December, the voices of Mireia Calafell, Blanca Llum Vidal and Karima Ziali, accompanied by Sayed Raían.



einaidea poesia x Gabriel Ventura:
The poem to come


Evening of readings by Mohamad Bitari, Juana Dolores, Eduard Escoffet, Maria Isern, Alicia Kopf, Ginebra Raventós and Gabriel Ventura

With this event begins a program of meetings around contemporary poetry, its possible and unreconciled languages and communities, its potential to bring us together and abyss us. Whether you hear it or not, poetry operates as a fluid, as tissue/fabric and connective breath between artistic practices. Drug and residue. We recognize its ancestral future and its weedy marginality, its radical lightness and its brokenness. There is a void left by poetry in art and design schools and in the programming of many institutions. We were talking about this not long ago with Gabriel Ventura, whom we have invited to bring together poets who currently work on poetic language in its most diverse materials and manifestations, from theatre to sound art, fiction and performance.
