19 JUNE 21:00-23:00

KUIR is an independent and collaborative project from Berlin created in February 2019 with the goal of promoting the work of queer poets.

In this 4th edition, dedicated to the memory of the brutally assassinated, homosexual and travesti greek poet, Costas Taktsís, we will be presenting the outcomes of our creative writing workshops as well as the works of contemporary queer poets from Greece in a 2-hour long show with readings and performances.

A fanzine with the poems of the night and their respective translations into English will be printed out and sold for a symbolic price at the door.

If you are a queer poet/translator and would like to collaborate, send us an email at: kuir.poetry@gmail.com // kuirpoetry.wordpress.com
