Introduction

This two-part site-specific project explores the relationship between poetry and urban space, aiming to reconnect contemporary poetry with everyday life.

Result

In the first intervention, 27 poets performed their works across 12 stops in Piraeus, from the Athens-Piraeus electric railways terminal to significant local landmarks.

The second intervention brought poetry to passengers on historic bus line 040, with poets reciting their works on board. Participants received stickers with verses, maps visualizing the routes, and balloons imprinted with poetry, creating lasting traces of the project in the urban landscape.
