The eleventh international poetry festival Cosmopoética will take place from 22 September to 5 October.
AC/E is collaborating in this international festival for the first time through the visitor grants awarded under the PICE. For two weeks, the festival brings together the voices of both established and emerging poets along with international influencers, who have the opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of Spanish contemporary poetry.
Following a track record of one decade that has established it as a reference on the world poetry scene, the festival is adopting a new structure and programme, with a new focus on thematic lines and planning, as well as on format and interrelations between participants and attendees.
The educational section has also been renewed with a clear aim in mind: to capture audiences for other activities and encourage new poets. Poetry will take to the streets in activities such as La Ciudad de los Versos (The city of verses) and the artistic interventionInstantes (Instants).
There are also changes to the musical section, which will feature a project that advocates lyrical poetry in songs and will bring the event to an entertaining close. Other types of poetry – in cinema, photography and even science – will also be present.
Following ten years with the same structure, Cosmopoética is embarking on a new period in which one of the main novelties is the abolition of categories – by background or age – among guest poets. What counts is that, for a few days, they will exchange words in Cordoba, without prejudices or categorisation, as the embodiment of the internationality of a common language: poetry.
