We are proud to present the official aftermovie of the impressive 'Bombing of Poems' that took place on May 14th in Rotterdam.
This 6-minute film captures the magic of that special evening, when 100,000 poems floated down over the Binnenrotte in Rotterdam.

Afterwards, there was the opportunity to talk with the creators of Bombing of Poems, the Chilean art collective Casagrande.
