Transpoesie: Take Back the Stage

The 13th edition of the international poetry festival is back in full force with fresh voices, focusing on the unique relationship between poetry, nature and architecture.

Transpoesie 2023 wants to amplify female voices in European poetry in joining the celebration of Art Nouveau in Brussels, adding their own poetic angle to it. During a series of events in beautiful and unexpected locations throughout the city, female poets from all over Europe celebrate the power of words, the beauty of nature and the vital role that women play in shaping the world.

At Muntpunt, you will hear the following poets: 

• Hélène Tyrtoff (Luxembourg)
• Lizar Begoña (Basque Country)
• Jurgita Jasponyte (Lithuania)
• Trudie Shannon (Channel Islands, Guernsey)
• Miglena Dikova-Milanova (Bulgaria)
• Raquel Serejo Martins (Portugal)
• Halyna Kruk (Ukraine)
• Martha MacDonals (Channel Islands, Jersey)

Each poet will read in her own language, with subtitles in English and Dutch.
