Voice of the Street 2

Poetry and audiovisual competition

The city speaks.
The street remembers.
Your words can be louder than the noise of everyday life.

Voice of the Street 2 is an interdisciplinary poetry and audiovisual competition combining poetry, visual arts and sound. The project is aimed at authors who want to see how their text functions beyond the page and takes on a new audiovisual dimension.

Why is it worth it?

Echo Ulicy 2 is a project that focuses on dialogue between different fields of art and gives poetry the opportunity to emerge in a new, contemporary form. It is an opportunity to confront one's own text with the interpretation of image and sound and to present it publicly during the competition finals.

Project co-financed by the ZAIKS Fund for the Promotion of Creativity
