Reading and Panel Discussion with Al-Saddiq Al-Raddi, Hanna Komar and Stephen Watts
Renowned poet & translator Stephen Watts joins forces with two exiled poets to read their poems and consider books as sources of resistance, debate, enrichment, understanding and inspiration. Al-Saddiq Al-Raddi is famed throughout and far beyond his native Sudan for the beauty of his lyrics and Hanna Komar writes about resisting the patriarchal authoritarianism of the Belarus regime.
Live performances from Belarusian poet Hanna Komar, London-based Filipino poet Troy Cabida and the National Poet of Wales, Hanan Issa. Hear audio files created specially for the evening by Canadian Inuktitut writer Norma Dunning and Amajagh poet and painter, Hawad, who writes in the Tamajaght language.
The poems will be performed in their original languages and in English. Following the performances, the poets will join together for a conversation about their work as a form of activism alongside festival co-curator and artist Sam Winston who has created five Seed Syllable flags in collaboration with each poet. The event is hosted by journalist Bidisha.
"The Art of Resistance: Belarus Five Years On". An afternoon symposium.
Conversation and reading with Iryna Shuvalova at Oslo internasjonale poesifestival.
