The Border is a Metaphor: Poetry Slam "Experiences of Immigration"

Join us for a FREE powerful Poetry Slam centered on Immigration, where voices rise to honor the journeys, struggles, and resilience of immigrant communities.

In a time when immigration is criminalized and misunderstood, we believe in the power of poetry to humanize and illuminate. This slam is a stage for stories that often go unheard, a space to honor identity, migration, resilience, memory, and home.

The winner will receive a spotlight feature at EDALX, our international Encuentro that uplifts multidisciplinary Latinx artists around the world. EDALX fosters lasting collaborations and builds community, making Orlando a vibrant hub for Latinx creativity on a local and international scale. Proceeds of EDALX benefit the program Adelante Caminate which supports children and youth who crossed the U.S. border unaccompanied.
