Rui Torres, professor of the Fernando Pessoa University, shares with Manuel Portela the curation of FONOVOZ \u2014 Encontros de Poesia Sonora, whose 2026 edition takes place on October 9 and 10 at O\u2019culto da Ajuda in Lisbon.<\/p>

Under the theme \u00abExile | Asylum\u00bb<\/strong>, This initiative by Miso Music Portugal brings together different artistic practices that intersect voice, word, body, sound and technology. The sonic proximity between the two words serves as a starting point for a reflection on displacement, borders, acceptance and refuge through contemporary sound poetry.<\/p>

The invited artists \u2014 Diogo Marques, Zuzana Hus\u00e1rov\u00e1, Hannah Silva and Eduard Escoffet \u2014 were challenged to develop performances based on the theme of the meeting, including creating an original piece for this edition. Diogo Marques was a research fellow at the Fernando Pessoa Foundation between 2018 and 2020.<\/p>

The program also includes a video component, which brings works from the historical archive and contemporary creation into dialogue with each other.<\/p>

Over the two days, FONOVOZ proposes a space of encounter, creation and listening, inviting artists and audiences to explore the sound poem as a space of exile and a place of refuge.<\/p>
