Poets for Palestine
4 April at 18:30 – 19:00 EDT
April 4 & April 18, 7:00 pm
Two evenings of poetry on Thursday April 4th and 18th at 7 pm. Each evening, four Quebec poets will not only read their own poems but those of Palestinian poets as well. The Palestinian Poets are Abu Toha, Remi Kanazi, Hala Alyan, Ahlam Bsharat, Dalia Taha and Refaat Alareer.
The aim of the event is to raise consciousness about the role of the poet in the ongoing struggle for peace and justice and to show that the creative act is also an act of giving voice to those who can’t.
Curated by Carolyn Marie Souaid and Endre Farkas.
