TEDx talks en Español - Mississippi spoken word | Marta Fornés Porta | TEDxAlbacete

A través de la poesía oral, Mississippi trata de comunicar ideas y críticas sociales que incumben a todas las personas. En ocasiones trata el humor como hilo conductor para hacer del poema una sátira no más lejana de la cruda realidad. Temas actuales como el exceso de consumo, la crisis de los refugiados o la violencia hacia las mujeres son algunos de los que trata en esta charla-recital mediante sus versos. Marta works as a Primary teacher in the morning and as a poetess at night. One day she went to the CCCB (Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona) and discovered the Poetry Slam, something new for her, where social messages and different emotions were transmitted through oral literature. When she went back to her homeland, she decided that the stage was going to be the perfect place where she could talk about the problems of society. Little did she know but she was going to create her current character, Mississipi. In 2017 and 2018 she won the Valencia Poetry Slam Contest and she got the 4th place in the National Poetry Slam Championship. Thus, the Poetry Slam is the format she has grown up with and thanks to it she is occasionally invited to different conventions. She currently recites poetry in several events and schools all around Spain. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
