Join us for our next event next Wednesday! Giulia Ottavia Frattini @giulia.ottavia.frattini A poem is never at rest 10.12.2025 During the lecture, we will look at poetry as a polyvocal practice one that unfolds through the interplay of voices across plural contexts and bodies. We will consider how poetic form resists fixed boundaries, unsettles definitions, activates dissonance, and fosters spaces for the unspoken and the relational to reverberate. Poetry-making can be understood as an ongoing performance of porosity and hospitality: an experiment in being-with the unfamiliar, in questioning dominant structures, and in allowing significance to shift and re-articulate itself. My contribution to this series attempts to expose poetry as a site of co-emergence where meaning is continually made and unmade. * Giulia Ottavia Frattini is a poet, writer, and independent researcher based in Berlin. Her practice weaves together writing, critical theory, and visual culture with a focus on linguistic displacement and the tension between voice and self-determination. Through anti-narrative forms and exophonic expression, she explores how meaning constantly reshapes itself within shifting epistemic systems. Her work spans poetry publications, independent curatorial projects, public readings, and a spectrum of contributions to international platforms, often engaging with hybrid forms. In 2023, she was a Visiting Teaching Artist at the Poetry Foundation in Chicago. In 2024, she joined the Poetry School as a Poetry Tutor, and in 2025 became a lecturer at HBK, Braunschweig University of Art.
