“A poetic consultation” is a 20-minute one-on-one exchange with an artist. It begins with a free dialogue that concludes with the reading if a poem chosen specifically for each person. At the end of the consultation, the text of the poem is transmitted along with a personalized “poetic prescription”. The goal of the poetic consultations is to bring poetry into public spaces. The project has a triple impact: 1) an impact on audiences, who benefit from a free and original artistic gesture; 2) an impact on African artists, who benefit from an international network of artists and structures, in addition to paid training and work hours; 3) a cultural impact, as the creation and sharing of national poetry collections helps promote the poetic heritage of each country.
