Woorden werden zinnen! And that was already almost two weeks ago. Our last edition of the year was one to cherish. While we’re already working on new plans behind the scenes, we look back with so much love.

Thanks to all the word-artists who warmed up the stage. Thanks to everyone who was there and took the energy home with them.

The images were captured by

Stick around and see you in the future. 🩵

🇳🇱
Woorden werden zinnen! En dat alweer bijna twee weken geleden. Onze laatste editie van dit jaar was er één om te koesteren. Terwijl we achter de schermen alvast bouwen aan nieuwe plannen, kijken we met heel veel liefde terug.

Dank aan alle woordkunstenaars die het podium verwarm hebben. Dank aan iedereen die erbij was en de energie meenam naar huis.

De beelden zijn vastgelegd door

Stick around en tot in de toekomst. 🩵

Rotterdam, we have a winner! 🎉

We’re thrilled to announce that van der Haven is the winner of this year’s ‘Het gedicht is een bericht’, part of the 55th Poetry International Festival.

Soon, her poetry line will travel across Rotterdam on a garbage truck, bringing a touch of poetry to the city streets and turning everyday life into something a little more poetic.

Keep an eye out, you might spot her words rolling by! 💛
