Inspired by the successful and long-standing Poems on the Underground in London and Wiersze w Metrze in Warsaw, as well as similar projects run in various capital cities all over the world such as Paris, New York and Montreal, EUNIC Brussels brings European poetry in its original languages into the Brussels public space. Over the past 4 years, 100 European poets have presented their poems in the framework of the project. The public of Brussels gets a chance to discover the great variety of languages and literary talent in Europe, enriching their daily routines with a unique and creative experience.
TRANSPOESIE poets represented 21 countries in 2011, 24 countries in 2012, 26 in 2013 and 30 in 2014. In 2015 and 2016 we slightly changed the formula, to come back in full forces in 2017.
The goal of the past four editions was to put poetry into the Brussels public space, in the tramways, the metro trains, the busses. This year we are focusing on the quality of the poetry events and the launch of a brand-new website.
Our various partners during the past editions were: Brussels International House of Literature Passa Porta, Center for Fine Arts BOZAR, the City of Brussels, the European delegation in Brussels, the Galerie Anspach, Loterie Nationale, STIB/MIVB and Actissia.
