Gershwin Bonevacia

Gershwin is a poet, writer and performer. From March 2019 to January 2022 he was the city poet of Amsterdam, and wrote a poem every month in Het Parool. His stormy rise as a poet did not come naturally due to his dyslexia, but wrestling with words made him an inventive word artist. In 2023 Gershwin was on stage with his own theater performance 'Terug naar Prinsenplein', in which he goes back to his youth and searches for his ten-year-old self. In the workshops he focuses with students mainly on the art of language and creates poems and spoken word performances with them.
