Poetry for the Sky
The Entire Universe (or Almost) in a Poetry Slam

May 15, 2025 | 9 PM
Doors opening | 8.30 PM

Duomo | OGR Torino

An event by OGR Torino and INAF, in collaboration with Pleiadi. This event is part of the program created for the Time Machines exhibition.

Admission is reserved for ticket holders of the exhibition valid for the day of the event.

During the event, six young performance artists will compete on stage with contemporary poems to celebrate the wonder of the sky, astrophysical research, and curiosity. The performance is inspired by the format of a poetry slam, a "competition" where each artist writes and presents original pieces, and the audience decides the winner. Each performance will be dedicated to the Sky, in a unique experience of word and discovery.

Poetry for the Sky is the result of a masterclass where the young artists were inspired by researchers from INAF – National Institute of Astrophysics. The project was conceived by Chiara Di Benedetto and Lorenzo Maragoni, and is a format by Studio Bleu for INAF.

Participants:
• Annachiara Vispi
• Gabriele Ratano
• Giulia Sara Arcovito
• Martina Lauretta
• Olympia

Event Host: Giuliano Logos, performance artist and 2021 world champion of poetry slam.
