Africa Cup of Slam Poetry
The Africa Cup of Slam Poetry (ACSP) is a Pan-Africanist event that brings together artistic talent from across Africa and beyond. By creating synergy and fostering unity within the artistic scene, ACSP contributes to the vision of a united Africa. Slam poetry, the celebration of words, has become an important form of cultural expression in many African countries over the past decade. ACSP promotes slam poetry as a powerful force for unity, bringing together artists, communities, and cultures across the continent.
The Africa Cup of Slam Poetry is a continental competition that takes place every two years. The first edition, held in 2018, brought together slam and spoken word artists and representatives from over 20 African countries for a five-day event in N’Djamena, Chad. Senegal emerged as the winner.
