TRANSPOESIE 2025”

TRANSPOESIE 2025 Turbulent Times voices the fears but also the hopes of the current generation...

The urgency to change but also the urge to seek cover and question what is. How does contemporary poetry react to the times we are living? Poets from 16 European countries will voice each the current mood in their own language. Expect to be connected with languages from the four corners of the European continent.

Since 2011, TRANSPOESIE has been an annual poetry festival organized by EUNIC Brussels, a cluster of cultural institutions and embassies engaging in cultural relations in Belgium. TRANSPOESIE is an international poetry festival, marking the European Day of Languages, celebrated each year on 26 September. The festival hosts a series of events (readings; debates, public writing sessions) showcasing original poems in their native languages. Curated by Philip Meersman, expert on experimental poetry, immersive audience experience - performance festival curator - artistic PhD researcher AP University College and performance poet working with XR.
