TOUCH ME, I´M SPAIN

TOUCH ME, I´M SPAIN
This action was part of the event "IT'S ALREADY HERE" a cultural intervention curated by Ernesto Estrella. "IT'S ALREADY HERE" took place in Berlin on May 25th-26th, 2014, as part of the “SOUNDOUT Festival: New Ways of Presenting Literature” hosted by Lettrétage Literaturhaus. Finanziert von der Stiftung Deutsche Klassenlotterie Berlin.
With special thanks to: Instituto Cervantes Berlin / Galatea Wines and Music Berlin

"Cruising around Berlin's “Tempelhofer Feld” with a mobile station, 
we will invite you to create poems on the spot using a set of previously selected objects. 
The objects are already charged with poetry. They actually come from poems. 
Indeed, they “are” poems that a special team of translators has transformed into objects and put into different canisters, each holding a poem.

The poem is in your hands. You decide its direction. Your hands, the weather of your senses, will decide. And when you are done, stay. We will give you the original of the poem, and probably something else. So expect to be touched beyond language!

We are already here. And the future use of Berlin's “Tempelhofer Feld” is actually subject to a vote on this very same day. So what better than a sudden emergence of poets and poems to unleash the feel of this election day? And to create an unexpected we. 
One not calculated among the given options of this Sunday. 
Nomadic, and present across the field. With you.

Spain is the theme of this action, poetry is the tool for entering the flesh and bone of our cultural stereotypes. As the afternoon progresses, our mobile poetry fair will find you."

Facilitators: Ernesto Estrella, Aida Lalúa, Enrique Rodríguez Partearroyo, Borja Trujillo Translators into Objects: Jorge Locane, Timo Berger, Izaskun Gracia Quintana Camera: Mariel Baqueiro Edition: Aida Lalúa Music: "cafe connection" by Morgantj featuring Morusque
