| Video Discription | Authors: Ammar Bin Hatim, Ibrahim Bin Hatem, Joan Scott-Minter, M Lynx Qualey, Sadjedah Al Mousawi, Shahad Al Rawi, Zeina Hashem Beck March 5, 2017 marks the tenth anniversary of the bombing of Al-Mutanabbi Street in Baghdad, in which more than 30 people were killed and more than a hundred wounded. Al-Mutanabbi street is a winding street filled with bookstores and outdoor book stalls located in the historic centre of Baghdad and is named after the famed tenth-century classical Arab Poet Al-Mutanabbi. For hundreds of years the street has been the heart and soul of Baghdad’s literary and intellectual community. Poet and bookseller Beau Beausoleil brought together a coalition of poets and artists, writers and printers, booksellers and readers, to publish an anthology of 135 pieces of poetry and prose celebrating the values of Al-Mutanabbi Street and help others understand what it means to the Iraqi cultural community. This session is Dubai’s contribution to a global series of readings from the anthology, with readings by Sadjedah Al Mousawi, Ibrahim Bin Hatem, Zeina Hashem Beck, Joan Scott-Minter, Ammar Bin Hatim and Shahad Al Rawi, and will be hosted by M Lynx Qualey, aka @arablit. The street has reopened, books are once again being displayed and sold, and the gutted Shabander Café has been made new. Wherever someone sits down and begins to write towards the truth, or someone picks up a book that will change the way they see the world, it is there that Al-Mutanabbi Street starts. |
