Presentations

Come and place a newspaper ad in Médor magazine and try out a unique form of poetic writing. This workshop will allow you to write poetic newspaper ads in the format of the BINGODOR coupon grid specific to Médor magazine. The limitation of the format and number of characters (262, including spaces) allows your imagination to wander while focusing on the essentials in writing your ad. The workshop is open to everyone (no registration or writing experience is required), and many of the announcements written during the Poetik Bazar will be published in the next quarterly issue of Médor.

ABOUT MÉDOR

Médor is a Belgian magazine created in 2015, consisting mainly of 128 pages of investigations and stories. Médor magazine is a quarterly print publication, but it also has a website.

Médor produces investigative journalism and storytelling that is powerful, free, and collaborative.

It provides a practical laboratory and a space for collective experimentation around writing and an irrepressible need to give ourselves freedom, pleasure, hope, and action in the face of a world in crisis.

Médor defends journalism in the public interest and investigates all kinds of topics related to Belgium: private and public companies, political, cultural, economic, and environmental issues.

Médor is independent: it is funded more than 80% by its readership (subscriptions and bookstore sales), 16% by periodical press subsidies (with no influence on editorial content), and 2% by ethical advertising placed in our magazine.

Milena Lanzmann

Milena Lanzmann, author and multi-disciplinary artist, whose work questions the passage of time, the archiving of the everyday, and the crossroads between text and image. In this way, she has been able to pass on her sensitivity to poetry, with a view to breaking down barriers and encouraging reading and writing through artistic expression. Through her approach, writing has become both a poetic gesture and a gesture of collection and transformation.
