A few upcoming online events.
Friday Finds: ‘Music Is One of the Homes I Carry With Me Wherever I Go’

Friday Finds: ‘Ode to Lebanon’

Bulaq 23: ‘Poems That Cross Language and Time’
"We focused our talk on her "duets," recent works that move between Arabic and English."
Friday Finds: Zeina Hashem Beck’s Bilingual ‘Duets’
