Eva Lampara ____ The 13th International Video Poetry Festival (IVPF), one of the leading international gatherings for visual poetry and spoken word, returns to Athens on SEPTEMBER 11-12, 2026. The Institute for Experimental Arts founded the International Video Poetry Festival in 2011, introducing the art of Video Poetry to the Athenian audience for the first time. Inspired by the digital platform Moving Poems (USA), the festival has evolved into a dynamic international field of collaboration between artists from America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. Through the Video Poetry Zone, Video Art Zone, Workshops, Lectures and Live Performance Zone, IVPF creates an open public space for all forms of contemporary visual poetry, spoken word performances, concerts, video art shows, workshops, and lectures. WHAT IS VIDEO POETRY? Video Poetry is a contemporary art form where poetic text meets moving image, creating a new audiovisual experience. It can take various experimental forms such as animation, collage, film poetry, video dance, combining words, images, sounds, and movement into a unified artistic work.
