Bombing of Poems over London, Berlin, Warsaw, Dubrovnik, Guernica and Santiago de Chile. Conflict, memory, reconstruction and poetic intervention.
< Return to January@GSAS events
The event will consist of a space for dialogue to consider the creative relationships between conflict, memory, reconstruction and poetic intervention, through a seminar and video presentation by José Joaquín Prieto, co-founder of the Chilean artistic collective Casagrande. Prieto will discuss "Bombing of Poems," a performance that Casagrande has brought to six cities that have experienced aerial bombing (including Berlin, Dubrovnik, Guernica, Santiago de Chile, Warsaw and, most recently, London), involving the dropping of over 100,000 poems from helicopters and planes in a gesture of peace and remembrance.
