Accent multilingual literary open mic vol. 2

A literary evening for people writing in languages other than Polish.
Poetry, prose, experimental texts, spoken word and performance-based literary forms regardless of country of origin or language. We invite migrant, multilingual and all writers creating outside the dominant Polish language to share their texts and listen to other voices.

The event consists of two parts:
Part one: curated readings
Selected participants will present their texts in their original languages.
The selection process is based on submitted applications our aim is to create a diverse and multilingual program in which voices, languages and literary forms remain varied from one edition to another.
In future editions, priority will be given to people who have not previously presented their work during Accent Reads.
Those wishing to participate in this part of the event are invited to send an application together with a short sample of their work through the forms:
