Token Imagination HAS announced the 10 winners and launched GUERILLA POETRY! all over the city.

GUERRILLA POETRY!
Token Imagination - flexes of language to engage the CBD in this quirky Public Poetry Initiative. This initiative will be implemented in the lead-up to the Seventh Australian Poetry Festival. This year held at the Rex Centre, Kings Cross, 3-4 September 2010 (www.poetsunion.com).

GUERILLA POETRY is a form of temporary graffitti, as gorillas and poetic thoughts migrate with public participation. Playfully placing poetry in the public eye, 3D and off the page.

Ten poets have been chosen to have their work distributed across several key CBD locations from the 23th of August to the 1st Sept. Selected works will be printed on one thousand magnetized, speech bubbles and installed with four hundred accompanying gorilla statuettes in urban spaces.

All poetry will be considered regardless of style or pictorial structure. Innovation is the prerogative!

The GUERILLA POETRY INSTALLATION WILL BE IN THE CBD OF SYDNEY FROM 23RD AUGUST - 1ST SEPT

Token Imagination is one of the leading creative forces in contemporary interactive art in Sydney.
