Translation and Displacement: An afternoon of poetry responding to displacement, occupation, exile, and other kinds of othering. Our annual multilingual events showcase the power of poetry across different languages and cultures, with the poems being performed in both their original language and their English translated versions. This event, in partnership with the Poetry Translation Centre in their 20th year, will feature Sudanese poet Al-Saddiq Al-Raddi with poet and friend Stephen Watts, Italian-Palestinian writer Sabrin Hasbun, Somali poet Ibrahim Hirsi, and Girasol Press reading the works of imprisoned Argentine poets.
Free event taking place on the 20th April 2024. For more information click here: https://www.lyrafest.com/#e105208
