Since 2011, Slama has been a space where spoken word Poets celebrate intersectional community and encourage each other to bring their absolute best work to the stage.
After a two month hiatus, we’re back! This time with an exciting collaboration with the City of Literature’s Slamovision and a feature like peanut butter mac, interstellar banana split with a chocolate covered cherry on top!
Slamovision is the spoken word version of Eurovision, where each UNESCO City of Literature organizes a competition to choose their poetry entry as their global representative.
This year, we do it the Slamalamadingdong way. 12 Poets. 3 Rounds. 1 Winner.
We will run our slam the way we usually run it. The winner will represent Australia in the global Slamovision event, with a video capture of their winning piece performed at Slama, entered into the global comp.
