SARDAM, meaning “verbal slip” in Greek, is an annual, out of the box, interdisciplinary literature festival based in Cyprus (founded in 2013 – EFFE LABEL QUALIFICATION 2019-2020). The festival presents the work of writers, writers-performers and other artists from Cyprus and abroad, through hybrid and interdisciplinary acts/collaborations (e.g. text and sound/music, slam poetry, live reading and contemporary dance, videopoetry, interactive literary installations, sound poetry, visual poetry, site-specific readings/acts, literature and A.I. / VR, and so on). Besides presenting evenings full of alternative literary readings, screenings and interdisciplinary performances, the festival also presents exciting creative writing and performance workshops, writer’s/artist’s Residencies, as well as parallel events.
