Whats is Slam poetry ?
Slam poetry is a form of oral and performance poetry that emerged in the United States in the 1980s, driven by a desire to make poetry more accessible and participatory. Born in a context of open stages and grassroots initiatives, slam poetry is distinguished by its emphasis on orality, interaction with the audience, and the expressive power of words. More than just an artistic genre, slam poetry is a space for collective expression where the voice, the body, and personal narratives come to life. Inspired by diverse traditions and contemporary art forms, it provides fertile ground for self-exploration, social denunciation, and the creation of connections.
