Word Up Promotes social inclusion and diversity through spoken word poetry and creativity. Word Up hosts events, workshops, international projects, cooperation and also is a podcast. Merger of two organisations in 2015 - MUTE & Spoken Notes - Word Up encourages people to engage with the world around them and to use spoken word poetry as an instrument through which they can explore and better under

stand their culture, their society, and, ultimately, themselves. Word Up brings together performance, writing, in a supportive environment to inspire people to recognise that their views are significant, valid, and necessary.

📣 Join us for an unforgettable evening with U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón in Amsterdam! 🇺🇸📖

We’re delighted to share that Ada Limón, the 24th Poet Laureate of the United States, will present A New National Anthem - a poetic reflection on identity, belonging, and the power of language to imagine a more connected, thoughtful nation. This special event takes place on March 5, 2026, 19:30–21:30 at Dominicuskerk in Amsterdam.

Limón’s work asks what it means to sing a song for an imperfect nation - holding both love and critique in equal measure - and invites audiences to explore poetry as a space for empathy, hope, and civic reflection.

✨ Moderated by Amsterdam-based poet Hollis Kurman, the evening promises rich conversation and deep insight into the role of art in shaping public life.

📍 When: March 5, 2026 | 19:30–21:30
📍 Where: Dominicuskerk, Korte Korsjespoortsteeg, Amsterdam

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with one of today’s most important poetic voices. Special price for Word Up community 🎟️
