OAF Poetry Stage asks the question: what kind of literature could exist outside the known literature?
The poets of the OAF Literature Programme will take over the stage of Permantosali, together with poets from WSOY, House of Text and the Poetry Moon Festival. The evening will feature a diverse array of unprecedented textual worlds, precise observations about being an outsider, direct personal accounts and performances exploring the visual possibilities of poetry.
OAF poets Milo Ruut, Isaque Sanches, Minni Välipakka, Mikael Diedrich Gripentrog, Tom Runeberg, Kristiina Murola and Collins Ngiesi, Poetry Moon poet Elsa Tölli and WSOY’s poet Anja Erämaja will perform in the event.
The Outsider Art Festival’s literary programme is arranged in collaboration with WSOY. The programme is curated by Aleksis Salusjärvi and Sanni Purhonen.
The event is free of charge.
