We will also be showing poetry films, including by Silvana Franzetti (Argentina) and Roxana Crisólogo (Peru) and – for the first time in Germany – giving a taste of the “Peru: Poeticas visuales de la Resistencia” video and film festival, which takes place in Lima.

Rap, freestyle, HumanBeatbox und DJ sets: the Literaturwerkstatt Berlin will be presenting German rap poetry.  
Hip-Hop is an oral culture governed by direct exchanges, spontaneity and improvisation. It is borne of artists coming together live on stage. There is no strict demarcation line between the audience and the performers. Hip-Hop is a community culture, which produces something from a combination of togetherness and opposition that could not be achieved by an individual alone. The evening therefore has no strict line-up of individual groups but is rather an exchange of improvisations, freestyles and dialogues between BeatBox, contrabass and rap, a jam session of differing forms of Hip-Hop expression.
