The Institute for Experimental Arts and poetry platform filmpoetry.org invited by Versopolis – -Festival of Hope presents four (4) contemporary poets from Athens Greece.
This short anthology includes three video poems and a spoken word live performance. We offer a snapshot from the vibrating underground poetry scene of Athens in a period of social crises caused by a decade of neo-liberal austerity measures and the catastrophic global pandemic of covid-19.
The new generation of Greek poets participate in social movements and self-organized social spaces, occupied social centers, demonstrations, riots and assemblies manifesting an underground cultural network of creativity and resistance. Poets and writers, musicians, video artists and cinematographers, directors, actors, bands and theater groups manifest a network of social aware contemporary artists beyond formality and market rules, against all oppressive systems. Athens underground scene, hidden from the mass media and the art industry publish books and records, organize art and theater shows, massive free concerts at the public spaces, performances, poetry nights and festivals- gatherings of thousands of young people, meeting points of a new generation fighting for dignity and emancipation.
