Worldly Literature exhibition and Poetry Projections at Vogel Street Party

By City of Literature | Posted:

The Vogel Street Party 2016 spanned 400m of the long street in Dunedin’s heritage district, creating a family-friendly pedestrian space with a carnival atmosphere to showcase Dunedin’s talented artistic and literary communities. As part of the celebrations, visitors were invited to explore the “Worldly Literature” exhibition, large designer dots featuring imagery, words and poems sent from fellow Cities of Literature around the world. Each poem was printed on large circle posters and placed on building windows throughout Vogel Street.

In the evening, fellow Cities of Literature Krakow, Heidelberg, Norwich, Dublin and Edinburgh lit up the street with poetic prose projected onto Vogel St, featuring a poem by Edinburgh’s Michael Pederson.
