Orange Poetry Live Show - February 2025 Edition

iMi Poetry Slam

Orange Poetry Live Show kicks off the year with an incredible partnership for the iMi Poetry Slam

Theme: "Echoes of Place: Stories of Belonging, Borders, and Becoming."

This theme invites poets to explore how people shape the spaces they inhabit, how communities navigate borders - physical and metaphorical - and how identities are formed and transformed through shared experiences of place. It calls for reflections on home, displacement, memory, and the unseen architecture of human connection that defines what it means to belong.

Participants are encouraged to share stories of their lived cities, imagined worlds, and the crossings in between, challenging traditional ideas of space, citizenship, and community through their unique voices and creative expressions.
