The Dial-A-Poem Switzerland project will be presented at the Flux Laboratory, which will officially celebrate the inauguration of its Flux Stage from October 1st to 11th, 2026, on the occasion of the One & Only Athens Festival. Following its successive installations at the Bains des Pâquis in Geneva, the Kunsthalle Basel, and the Swiss Literary Institute in Biel, this Athenian chapter marks a major turning point for the project: contributing to the circulation of Swiss literary and artistic creation beyond national borders.

For eleven days, performances, exhibitions, conversations, and masterclasses will take over this new space, affirming the Flux Laboratory’s vocation to stand at the crossroads of culture, academic research, and cultural diplomacy.

By inviting the public to experience poetry in a renewed form within this unique context, John Giorno’s emblematic project finds a particular resonance here: connecting voices from the Swiss scene to a broader artistic dialogue, and asserting the role of poetry as a vector for exchange and cultural diplomacy on an international scale.
