Tilos Slam 2010

Tilos is a non-profit community radio station in Budapest, regularly organizing various party events around town, among them is Tilos Witchkitchen Series. The concept is to create trend-setting programs based on experimentation and the combination of various genres affecting one another. Last year in April, Tilos Radio held a notable slam contest, the first Tilos Slam, where the winners were: Ponza and IndianA. This time the second Tilos Slam will include a range of international slam performers, taken place at Sirály, Budapest. Thanks to the support of the International Visegrad Fund, young slammers are coming from Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland. The international line-up will be extended by a Swedish-Spanish-Italian trio, performing the “Smoke & Mirrors” slam show, originated in Berlin at the First European Poetry Slam Days in 2009 by the slammers of the Artists-In-Residence program. The theme of Tilos Slam 2010 will be DiscrimiNATIONS, thus Tilos will proudly join the Anti-racist Action Week connected to the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (March 21). The whole day of March 20 will be declared as a Slam Day on Tilos Radio (in line with the Tilos tradition to have occasional thematic days when the programs of the whole day are dedicated to the given theme), there will be interviews, talks, sound-collage radio mixes and live slam acts on air. In the afternoon slam programs continue at Sirály (1061 Budapest, Király u 50): DJ Sanyi from Tilos holds a spoken word lecture, followed by a workshop by Slam Poetry Budapest (SPB). Then comes THE CONTEST, as it should be. Finally, the Tilos Slam day will honorably be closed by the slam performance of Márk Süveg & Péter Závada (Saiid & Újonc from Akkezdet Phiai), accompanied by musicians. The visuals of the event are provided by 1000% and Kiégő Izzók VJ crew.
