Catastrophe/Galiilyo by Weedhsame is a poem of anguish about the displacement of the Somali people, western Europe’s response to the refugee crisis and a message of hope to refugees.
Weedhsame will perform the poem and others in Somali with English translation by Daljit Nagra, who co-translated the poem with Martin Orwin. We’ll also honour the late Somali legend Gaarriye, enjoy traditional music and dance and reflect on the necessity of translated poetry in today’s war-torn world. This event will have a live link up with Hargeysa Cultural Centre in Somaliland.
Part of the Poetry Translation Centre 20th birthday celebrations, funded by Arts Council England, and in partnership with Hargeysa Cultural Centre.
Entry: Free in-person (booking required for online event only)
