Poetry Expo 23
/ 8 March 2023
National Museum of Romanian Literature in Bucharest presenting Polyphonic
Part 2
Poetry Expo 23
Polyphonic is a vivid interplay between the written word and moving image that brings Romania’s best contemporary poetry to life with twenty animations by visual artist Raluca Popa. Weaving together the image-making power of poetry with diverse animation techniques, the artist created work in response to poems by nine Romanian poets of various ethnic backgrounds, who use polyphony in their poetry by writing both in Romanian and their first language. The poets are Michael Astner, Andrei Dósa, Robert Gabriel Elekes, Matei Hutopila, Henriette Kemenes, Aleksandar Stoicovici, Livia Ștefan, Mihok Tamas, and Victor Țvetov.
Curated by London-based poet Simona Nastac with support from poet and editor Claudiu Komartin. Produced by the National Museum of Romanian Literature in Bucharest.
