Description:

Busboys and Poets welcomes Arab Gulf States in Washington to the Langston Room for this Private event. To plan your event, complete our online form HERE or call the events office @ 202-332-6432.

Poetry plays an important role in the daily reality of the Gulf Arab region. Far from being a relic of the past, it has extended its influence through television and the Internet to reach an audience of millions. From Nabati poetry to spoken word, Gulf poetry tells a story of current social and political concerns and narrates shifts in cultural and societal norms in a fast changing region.

AGSIW is pleased to present “Riwaya,” a celebration of heritage in poetry and music drawing from the diverse cultures of the Gulf Arab states.
