The “Fatshimetrie” event at the University of Kinshasa: When poetry comes to life on stage
The academic world welcomes a promising new initiative this Friday, November 29 at the University of Kinshasa. The auditorium of the Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences will be transformed into a living stage for the very first edition of “Fatshimetrie”, an artistic event that promises to thrill poetry and literature lovers.
Initiated by the association “Slam & Micro Ouvert à Kinshasa” (S.M.O.K), this unique cultural event aims to offer a unique space of expression to students and lovers of oral poetry. Indeed, “Fatshimetrie” presents itself as a platform where confirmed slam poets and young emerging talents will follow one another, all seeking to share their words and emotions with the public.
Beyond the poetic performances that will enliven this evening, “Fatshimetrie” also offers moments of exchange and reflection thanks to interventions by prestigious guests. Among them, Grâce Bilola, emblematic figure of the Association of Young Writers of Congo (AJECO), will bring her expert perspective on the current literary scene, while Joyeux Ngoma, renowned writer and librarian, will share with the public the secrets of his latest work, “Le silence de l’âme”.
By promoting the meeting between art and academy, “Fatshimetrie” aims to build bridges between the different actors of the Congolese literary world. This immersion in the world of oral poetry will allow students to express themselves freely, discover new artistic horizons and enrich themselves with the diversity of talents present on stage.
The free entry of “Fatshimetrie” demonstrates its commitment to democratizing access to culture and offering everyone the opportunity to flourish through words and rhythms. Thus, this first edition promises to be an unmissable event for all those in search of poetry, sharing and strong emotions.
In short, “Fatshimetrie” promises to be an event rich in discoveries, emotions and encounters, where poetry will resonate as an ode to creativity and freedom of expression. A date is given to all lovers of words and rhythms for an evening that promises to be memorable at the University of Kinshasa.
