Poetry Slam is back in Herford! The slam stage has been silent since 2019 – now it’s getting loud again! Every two months, Slam OWL brings the region’s hidden poets to the stage – captivating, relatable, and guaranteed not to be boring.

What is a Poetry Slam anyway?
A Poetry Slam is an event format in which poets perform self-written texts on a stage, which are then evaluated by a randomly selected audience jury. They may not use props and must adhere to a time limit of what feels like 6 minutes per performance. At the end of the evening, one of the performers emerges as the winner. There are no stylistic requirements: Whether funny or serious, whether stand-up or lyric poetry – anything can take place on a Poetry Slam stage! Moderation: Niko Sioulis.

Slam OWL is a culturally engaged association and organizer of most poetry slams in the region and is also active in youth work. Further information is available at www.slam-owl.de.

Free admission, everyone is welcome
