¡Abierto a poetas de todos estilos y edades! Desde quien apenas esta empezando a escribir, a quienes llevan décadas escribiendo– todos están bienvenidos a participar.

JUEZ DE HONOR:
Érika Ordosgoitti (Caracas, 1980) lives in Chicago, Illinois. A performance, audiovisual, and poetry artist, Ordosgoitti holds a degree in Fine Arts with a concentration in New Media from the Instituto Universitario de Artes Armando Reverón in Caracas. For the last 25 years, her research has focused on studying the concept of freedom in relation to art.
Ordosgoitti is known for her site-specific interventions in public space, which she calls «photo-assaults» («fotoasalto»). These are performative declarations of freedom intended to bear witness to her fleeting existence and inspire new acts of disobedience. Risk is a significant element in her artistic practice.
Her work explores the mechanisms of power that operate on behavior, using her own body as the fundamental signifier and a space of contention, recognizing it as power’s primary target and, therefore, the sole vehicle for freedom.
