We are a collective of Latin American poets and cultural managers. We believe in public culture and seek to build spaces to explore the potentials of poetry and its ways of manifesting and affecting us. We collaborate with allied artists from around the world who work with these same potentials and want to continue exploring them. We seek to become a hemispheric network of support and creation.
We believe in the power of gathering and collective creation as engines to transform individualistic economic models that render invisible and precarize our craft.
We also organize Poetry Festivals, spaces where invited poets and musicians share their work in unconventional places. These are free public events, where we seek to economically recognize the work of artists. To support the Poetry Festivals fund, go to How to Contribute.
We know that to create and materialize our projects, spaces for creation, concentration, and exchange of ideas, knowledge, practices, and wisdom are necessary. That's why we're designing a nomadic residency program in different places across Latin America, for writers and artists from various disciplines who want to work with the potentials of poetry. We're also working on creating a writing school. We have special interest in performative and undisciplined projects that generate exchange with the community.
