Revolution Poetry presents Revolution Art
Revolution Poetry is a Stockholm based cultural/art movement and spoken word platform. Since the end of 2009 they have been creating a new stage for Spoken Word, that gives space to voices of people of colour (POC) which often shares and draws inspiration from experiences of living in Stockholm’s suburbs. Over the past 7 years they have filled small rooms, culture houses and toured Sweden, building an important movement for artists and activists who use their voice to contribute to the picture of what Swedish life is like today; and what dreams we have to change society for the better.
Their work is built on a fundamental belief in justice, in giving public space to individuals who don’t feel they have space in everyday society. After the spread and success of their work Revolution Poetry are ready to embark on a new phase of working at Marabouparken. During their research residency here they will develop a new strand of working called Revolution Art. Revolution Art offers a new avenue for artists and performers to develop cross disciplinary work that does not need to be fixed to a live event.
Over the 3 months Revolution Poetry will used their residency space at Marabouparken as a studio to share their work, hold meetings with artists, and host public events and workshops. In the residency space you can also spend time and find documentation from previous performances and browse a library of books related to post colonial politics. During their residency you are welcome to come and use their working space at Marabouparken. On a number of Wednesday evenings a member of Revolution Art will be in the space to meet you and discuss your work. Please visit Facebook to check which dates Revolution Art will be there.
