Poets and Performers on Kahlil Gibran
Join us at The Drawing Center for an evening of readings organized by poet, translator, and literary scholar Mona Kareem, on the occasion of the exhibition A Greater Beauty: The Drawings of Kahlil Gibran.
The evening will begin with a brief overview of the exhibition by curator Claire Gilman. Palestinian actor Adam Bakri will kickstart the event with a reading of Gibran’s work. Following Bakri, poets Nuar Alsadir, Mona Kareem and Fargo Nassim Tbakhi will read from their latest work. Nuar Alsadir is a poet, nonfiction writer, and psychoanalyst and Fargo Nassim Tbakhi is a queer Palestinian-American performance artist and writer. Syrian-American rapper, spoken word poet, and theatrical storyteller Omar Offendum will be closing the night with a performance.
