POIESIS 2 – Poetry, Music, Exhibition, Performance | March 1-9 at Casa Kerim

The mini-festival of art and poetry POIESIS returns this March with its second spring edition, bringing a series of events unlike anything the audience has experienced before at Casa Kerim. From March 1 to 9, the house of the late writer Silvia Kerim (Str. Parfumului 19, Bucharest) will host a variety of cultural happenings, including a collective exhibition of collages, art books, and installations, as well as concerts, theater performances, artistic happenings, poetry recitals, and workshops.

“Let’s lose (and find) ourselves among collages that defy routine and verses that take flight. Our imagination becomes language, and reality unravels only to be rebuilt into new stories.” – say the organizers about the festival.
