Join us on Radio Revolt at Radio Helsinki for a special interview with poet Tom Veber from Maribor, Slovenia. Tom’s journey as an artist has taken him joining various artist residencies. Known for his poetry exploring identity, diversity, and societal issues, Tom is also actively supporting empowerment of the LGBTQ+ community through poetry.

We’ll discuss Tom’s residency time in Graz, his diverse approach to art, and the themes in his poetry. Tom will share some of his poems in English, German, and Slovenian language. Also, we’ll talk about how city and countryside settings influence his creative process.
