It is with great excitement and anticipation that the Spittoon Collective presents: The Spittoon Literary Tour – A Cross-Cultural Collaboration of Literature, Music and Art.
The last two years have seen a wild ride of growth for Spittoon events from Spittoon Poetry; Spittoon Fiction; Spit-Tunes (our music and poetry collaboration night) and the upcoming Spittoon Poetry Slam night, to the major success of the Spittoon Literary Magazine, which launched its second issue at the 798 Art District earlier in May. We would like to thank our followers for their genuine support.
The ethos of this tour is collaboration and the celebration of the diversity of cultures and nations that Spittoon exemplifies. It will consist of 2 days worth of readings, talks and panel discussions. Now it’s time to begin the Spittoon Literary Tour!
9月23、24日老书虫文学、音乐、艺术跨界演出，是时候来一场硬核文艺之旅了!
9月23、24日，我们非常高兴地迎来第一场Spittoon文艺之旅——文学、音乐、艺术的跨界协作。由老书虫协同主办，将在北京、成都、苏州三地巡回。
Spittoon诞生两年多以来，我们组织了一系列跨界的国际文化活动：Spittoon诗歌、小说朗读、音乐诗歌汇演Spit-Tunes和诗歌Slam比赛；我们的Spittoon文学杂志第二期5月也在798艺术区发布。Spittoon成立以来始终得到大家的喜爱与支持，我们表示非常感谢！
这次文艺之旅是一场文学和艺术的跨界协作，也是国际多元文化与本土文化的庆祝狂欢，这是Spittoon一直以来所象征的！活动包括为期两天的朗诵、对谈、竞赛游戏和派对。是时候来一场硬核文艺之旅了！

- BOOKS OF BEIJING: Come join us for a time of intimate storytelling where the “books” featured are real, breathing people you get to “loan” and “read.” At this event featured “books” get to share a story about themselves in small groups so that both the “reader” and the “books” get to connect on a deeper level.
- SPIT-TUNES: Features excellent poets working with 4 separate genres of music. All those who participate have been selected by Spittoon, then by musicians who take inspration from them. After one month of collaboration, the result is a song, based on the musician’s and writer’s individual style. The genres for this event are: Sax and guitar duo– Trip-Hop – Indie Acoustic – Jazz.
