The National Museum of Romanian Literature organizes, between October 11 and 17, the 11th edition of the Bucharest International Poetry Festival.
Held in a hybrid format, the festival programme includes public poetry readings by Romanian and Moldovan poets at the two headquarters of the MNLR (8 Nicolae Cretulescu Street and and 64-66 Calea Grivitei Street) along with live interventions through the Zoom platform, as well as video recordings with readings of poets living or coming from countries such as England, Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Peru, the Republic of Moldova, Spain and the United States of America.
This year's theme of the festival is "Changing Times," about which writer Dinu Flamand wrote: "The pandemic continues to keep us at bay. Is it the beginning of a NON RETOUR, as the French are used to say? Will we continue to talk more on Skype, and physical contact between people will be more and more rare? Will the melting of glaciers, the extreme meteorological phenomena, the pollution that is out of our control, the weak democracy faced with the creative violence coming back again from the far past of mankind, and even mankind itself gradually suffocating its own living environment means that we are at a great crossroads What does the writer think, how does he/she react to these changing times? About all this, but especially about the (un)abandoned books and literary projects, the National Museum of Romanian Literature proposes you a series of interventions and dialogues from a distance, national and international."
The Bucharest International Poetry Festival is a project carried out with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture. Along with other media institutions, AGERPRES is the media partner of the event.
