OBJECT:PARADISE was founded in 2018 at Ouky Douky Cafe in Prague, Czech Republic by Tyko Say and Jeff Milton. The original concept was simple and remains their core principal today: make poetry readings and happenings more interactive and
dynamic.
They don’t believe in a poetic language nor the best words in the best order, but rather believe that readings can be a celebration of language that everyone can come to. They want to deconstruct the classism and prejudice inherent in “good”
language versus “bad” language use and, instead, celebrate the moment that language exists in.
In 2018 OBJECT:PARADISE had its first event, Poetry of Sound, at the Czech Inn in Prague, Czech Republic. The poetic happening inspired future events
that emphasize the connotative forces of language; specifically, performance, sound, and space.
In 2020 OBJECT:PARADISE, z.s. became an official non-profit organization recognized by the Czech government.
Our collective has three equal governing bodies which are reflective of our mission to put language in context: poetics, performance, and sound.
