This is the second year of Awraq festival. This year we are trying something different – we are centering the festival around organising a small UK tour for Palestinian-American poet Fady Joudah. His poetry and point of view as a Palestinian in this time of genocide are important for us to share, and we are very glad to be able to bring him to the UK.
The Tour will have an event in Bath on the 6th June 2025 which will be recorded and live streamed online, an event in Bristol on the 7th June, and in Cardiff on the 9th June. For more information and to book tickets go to https://awraqfestival.com/2025-festival/fady-joudah-uk-tour-2025/
Join us for an evening of poetry reading and a conversation. Fady will read from his poetry and talk about writing and being Palestinian in a time of genocide. The conversation will be chaired by Palestinian-Italian writer, Sabrin Hasbun. The conversation will be followed by Q&A with the audience.
