Poetry is a tool for contaminating the dominant language(s) and a path for anticipating our dreams and desires. We are practicing poetry as a way for telling im/possible stories, weaving memories and relating to each other. The seminar is inspired by Audre Lorde´s viewpoint: rather than being a luxury, poetry is “a vital necessity” that gives life and voice to what is unnamed and as yet unthought.
