GIULIANO LOGOS
Giuliano Logos, born in 1993, is a performance artist, poet and rapper from Puglia and 2021 Poetry Slam World Champion – the first Italian artist to win this title (XV Grand Slam World Cup, Paris 2021).
He is co-founder and president of the collective WOW – Incendi Spontanei, an organization dedicated to the promotion and internationalization of performance poetry based in Rome. More recently he also founded the PO.ETICH method – Team Empowerment Strategies through Performance Poetry, an organization which aims to promote conflict resolution-tools.
In 2019 he opened his solo show tour “MÖBIUS – Interactive performance poetry show”, performed in Italy, France, Germany and Belgium: a show, sweetened by the science fiction setting of time travel, in which the audience decides the course of events, addressing the modern individual’s relationship with society and the search for his or her ultimate purpose.
In 2022 he presented his new solo show “ABRAXAS” and toured in the USA, Puerto Rico, Senegal, Morocco, Spain and China on the occasion of the XXII Settimana della lingua Italiana nel Mondo (SLIM, Week of Italian Language in the World) with the support of Italian Cultural Institutes and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, performing together with high caliber artists for the Poetry Slam movement, such as its founder Marc Kelly Smith.
In 2023, together with actor Massimiliano Bruno and rapper Rancore, he launched Zètema’s PROJECT ABC holding the largest performance poetry workshop ever held in Italy. Furthermore, in 2023 and 2024, Giuliano Logos embarked on new international tours, performing in France, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Portugal, and Belgium.
His love for words has lead him towards attaining a law degree with an international focus, a master’s degree in international relations, and one in corporate communication, institutional relations and lobbying, and, simultaneously, towards developing his rap and hip hop knowledge and skills, first, and then performance poetry dexterity.
The 2024 edition is dedicated to “L’italiano tra le righe”.
