Poetry will be made by all! / 89plus

The creative practices of a world shaped by the globalising power of the internet is the focus of the Swedish edition of ”Poetry Will be Made by All!”.

It is an opportunity for 89plus to elaborate on the explorations that began in Zurich in 2014 as part of their exhibition of the same name, which was itself inspired by the seminal 1969 exhibition at Moderna Museet, ”Poetry Must be Made by All! Transform the World!” It is also another milestone in 89plus’s publishing project “1000 Books by 1000 Poets”, which will publish 1000 new books of expanded writing and poetry by authors from all over the world.

89plus has invited poets, visual artists, authors, architects, filmmakers, musicians, designers, koreografer, reserachers och technologists born in 1989 or later to participate in Poetry Will be Made by All! Which is a part of After Babel.
