About the
Event

I built a stage for my Mexican friend to read his 50 poems in Graz. I borrowed doors from poets' homes and invited them to explore a question with the audience in a series of readings as part of the CAMUFLAJES. Zechner & Serrano exhibition: Can poems – like doors – open up new spaces?
