Born in Jerusalem in 1978, Najwan Darwish has been described as one of the foremost poets of the Arab world. Incisive and lyrical, his work walks the razor’s edge between despair and resistance, between dark humour and harsh political realities.

Speaking to Sara M. Saleh, Najwan testifies to endurance in the face of unspeakable tragedy, the anguished fatigue of waking up each morning in an occupied land and the immeasurable toll of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His powerful poetic voice brings Palestinian experience to life.

This event features a performance by Hasib Hourani.
