Displayed Words is an experiment in thinking with language, text, and poetry through digital format and in public space. For its third edition, Displayed Words takes place at Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Haus Potsdamer Straße, where texts by Apsilon, May Ayim, Tim Etchells, Logan February, Friederike Mayröcker and Cristina Rivera Garza are presented on a digital display panel on the balcony above the main entrance. The project, continuing its aim to facilitate poetic encounters in urban space, will be accompanied by a series of readings on site and a publication. After the last two editions at Klosterruine and Rathaus Tiergarten, Displayed Words arrives at its final location at Stabi West with a new selection of texts, responding to our current time and addressing questions of identity, origin, belongingness, and the histories and memories of a place.

A project by CCA Berlin in cooperation with DAAD Artists-in-Berlin program, Bezirksamt Mitte and Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin. Supported by Senatsverwaltung für Kultur und Gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt.
