Location
Studio Centro de Arte Moderna GulbenkianEach poet has three minutes to recite a text they have written and win over the crowd in order to get through to the next round. Those who reach the third round – the final – will be challenged to write a new poem based on a work exhibited in the gallery, allocated to them at random at the time.
In the poetry slam, the spoken word becomes like a board game of listening and exchange. The audience plays too: five ‘jury’ members are chosen, who will give the poems ‘grades’ from 0 to 10, deciding who gets through to the next round.
To attend as a member of the audience, no registration is required. Simply collect the tickets, which will be available two hours before the performance.
Registration to participate as a poet are now open. Anyone over the age of 11 can participate.

The activity on the 16th is part of the International Museum Day at Gulbenkian, with free entry, on May 16th, 17th and 18th. Read more
