This event invites writers, poets, and home-thinkers to share how creative writing – from poetry to prose – has become a channel for expressing the unspeakable. How women shape stories amidst struggle, and how those stories can both break and build walls. With special attention to the work of Saba Hamzah.
Why October 17?
The date is intentionally set around October 14, the day Yemen celebrates its independence from British colonial rule. A historical milestone that symbolizes the broader themes of the event: independence, self-determination, and the search for one’s own voice in turbulent times.
