SLAM – Fiji Fringe Festival

Poetry Slam: slam poetry, a form of performance poetry that combines the

elements of performance, writing, competition, and audience participation.

The Poetry Shop Fiji is a collective formed by poets to host local poetry events

mainly in Suva City, though we have organised poetry slams out west at various

venues. The Poetry Shop is run a handful of poets to ensure there is a space for

young and emerging local voices in the literary space, though its centrally a

poetry group the collective seeks to engage with writers and other artists in the

literary space. The collective posts poetry readings and poetry slam and work

with partners and colleges to create Open Space, an open mic night that allows

artist and non artists alike to perform any live act of their choosing.

The Poetry Shop seeks to create publishing opportunities for its members through

fundraising to publish anthologies and poetry collections.

The Poetry Shop is funded by patrons to host its events and relies on the

kindness of the Suva community to run events.
