Barcelona Poesia Festival

Curated by Anna Gual and Manuel Forcano, the programme invites visitors to pause in a context marked by speed. Poetry appears here as a form of attention, a practice that shifts the gaze and opens up new readings of the surroundings.

The city becomes a multiple stage: from the opening address by Marta Pessarrodona to the Nit del Palau, passing through spaces such as the Verger del Museu Marès and the Ateneu Barcelonès. Recitals, concerts and gatherings bring words together with other disciplines, expanding their resonances.

The edition also incorporates a dimension of memory, with tributes to figures such as Blai Bonet, Clementina Arderiu and Joan Alcover, while making room for contemporary and international voices. Bookstalls accompany the route, bringing authors and readers together at different points in the city.

Barcelona Poesia does not limit itself to scheduling events: it proposes a way of being. An invitation to listen and to look more closely at what usually goes unnoticed.
