Where from?:
Poetrying have been created by accident: art group ŠKART refused to display its works at a design exhibition REDESIGN YOUR MIND by art group OD-DO held in the OZON Gallery. Instead, ŠKART invited poets/poetesses from choir PROBA (Rehearsal) to do a public rehearsal and recite their repertoire. An unexpected attendance number and the very participants’ enthusiasm encouraged the initiators of this action to repeat it at the same location, but in a month time. But, the gallery venue was too small to accommodate all the people who came, so the entire event was moved to REX where the venue space and technical equipment give a different and brand new atmosphere to the programme.
How?:
The net of Poetrying has been expanding since then. The participants in this programme recommend other fellow poets. This creates a new scene with some new and undiscovered talents ready for action and communication.
Who?:
Some new and former, debutant and famous, popular and renegade, wild and rebellious, sensitive and mercurial, hard-working and weary, yet persistent poets/poetesses and their «poetic fist»
What?:
Money for an edition of Poetrying is obtained by self-financing via ticket sale. Micro-books by female and male authors who work outside the mainstream literature and market demands are circulating around the city at the moment. The third book of poetry in row by Djordje Ilic from the group ČINČ will be given to the visitors as a gift at Poetrying 06 to be held in the Belgrade Cultural Centre.
And then?:
