Poetry is Punk
Don’t miss what promises to be an electrifying performance with two experimental poets and performers, Mátyás Dunajcsik and Nat Raha, interweaving spoken word, bass, loop pedals and a whole lot of energy. Mátyás is a German-Hungarian polyglot punk poet whose work explores multilinguality, language change, anti-authoritarianism and queer liberation. Nat is an Edinburgh-based poet and activist, whose work has explored transfeminism, practices and collectives of care and decolonisation. Join us to find out what punk poetry can look like today!
