LATE-BREAKING NEWS: The Second Annual Interfaith Multi-Lingual Poetry Slam for Eco Sustainability
The Second Annual Interfaith Eco-Poetry Slam in Jerusalem invites you to an exciting evening of artistic expression and spoken-word poetry! Come witness a diverse lineup of poets from different faiths and cultures as they share their relationship to the Earth and their Religion through spoken-word poetry. This event calls upon you to step out of your comfort zone, meet the “other”, and be inspired by a unique atmosphere of openness and curiosity. This is a refreshing opportunity to share and listen instead of question and try to problem-solve.
All are welcome who come with an open mind and an open heart!
This event seeks to challenge us all to reach beyond our own faith-communities by focusing on the common challenges and goals of global environmental sustainability.

LATE-BREAKING NEWS: Millennials Go Guerrilla for National Poetry Month
Guerrilla poets strike out for common sense, inclusion, social justice and all our best human ideals: Zero Forbidden Goals (ZFG) is a collective of artists from the Greater Sacramento area. It engages ideals and education through poetry, music and art delivered in a community setting, which is essentially what the “guerrilla” in “guerrilla art” refers to. I just found out about them today. All things considered: rather fabulous.
“In the past year ZFG has worked to bring an innovative brand of guerrilla art to Northern California with events such as Guerrilla Art Flash Mobs, National (Guerrilla) Poetry Month, Gorilla Storytime, Chainlink Poetry, and FLOW Sacramento.”
David Loret De Mola invites guerilla poets to participate in “Guerrilla” Poetry Month by sending in your videos.
“Whether you rap or you slam ZFG invites you and yours to take part in Guerrilla Poetry Month 2016! Just film your piece and send links to ZFGpromotions@gmail.com or hit us @ZFGpromotions.
Find out more at http://www.ZFGpromotions.com
We look forward to hearing from you!”
“Zero Forbidden Goals is a group of young creatives based in Northern California working to cultivate the next generation of art on the West Coast. Since it’s conception in 2014, the collaborative comprised of poets, emcees, musicians, writers, photographers, videographers, engineers, visual artists, and designers have been working to support the creative landscape and general accessibility of the arts on the West Coast by working alongside schools, local businesses, and non-profit organizations to provide and support arts programming.
“In addition to sanctioned art collaborations, Zero Forbidden Goals is known for unpredictable public pop-up art events, installations, and exhibitions. From interactive visual arts to flash mob dance parties, ZFG was founded on the belief that you can turn any slab of concrete into a stage and any empty lot into an art gallery.” from the website
