via Gregoriana 40, 00187 Rome

Bringing together poets connected to the city of Rome, this first event is part of the serie curated by Allison Grimaldi Donahue of live poetry readings, in dialogue with the ongoing exhibition Soglia / Common Acts by Francis Offman. The performance unfolds simultaneously across the space of the foundation, inviting the audience to move freely between voices and languages in an open and immersive format.

Langue Lost, Language Found: Poetic Interventions, is part of the public program of Società delle Api.

The serie is conceived as a space for exchange between artistic practices and writing through performances, readings, and workshops. Unfolding throughout the summer, it invites Italian and international artists to explore the collective dimensions of poetry, while emphasizing its accessibility and its presence in everyday life.

Full program: 22 May – 25 June – 9 July 2026
