MAIL ART POETRY – POETRY IS RESISTANCE

In the scenario of the dystopian landscapes of our contemporary society, thinking of poetry no longer as a simple
aesthetic exercise, but as a critical and political tool implies approaching the experimental in a situated and contextual
dimension. In this sense, the POSVERSO Biennial is conceived as an appeal to those artists who show a desire to distance themselves from pure formal variations, to venture, on the contrary, to achieve a poetics that enhances critical signs, and that enables reading conditions that dialogue with reality.

Mail art has a long tradition of political positioning and resistance.
What can mail art and experimental poetry contribute today to the path of resistance? What are the media and
discourses that are deployed to influence the convulsed world we inhabit? To what aspects of our reality is this
resistance directed? For Deleuze to think is to resist, and thought is a set of forces that resists death. In our
contemporary world, death has multiple faces: forced migrations, wars, poverty, hunger, climate change, inequality of the capitalist system, propagation and rise of far-right political forces. What can poetry do in the face of all this?
