Please join us for an evening of poetry, conversation and music as the original works by our young Yemeni contributors are read live for the first time in Europe!

In the Land of Shattered Windows: Young Voices from a Broken Yemen sits at the intersection of modern technology and poetic tradition, and brings voice to some of the major personal, political, and social conflicts that dictate daily life in Yemen today. Through the exchange of audio recordings of original poems via Whatsapp, young creatives from the opposite sides of these conflicts communicate alternative narratives to one another that shed light on the human aspects of daily life in Yemen that are missing from the international headlines.

6:30 pm // Doors
7:00 pm // Round Table Discussion: Living & Working in Yemen and Abroad (English)
7:45 pm // Poetry Reading (Arabic & English)
8:30 pm // Reception

In the Land of Shattered Windows was produced in partnership by Diwan Al Fan / ديوان الفن and The Poetry Project, and was made possible by the generous funding of the Prince Claus Fund.

Stay tuned for more information!
