Arab Voices in Exile

oin us for readings by five City of Asylum and ICORN residents highlighting their respective and collective journeys and resilience. These distinct texts, written during the time of the authors’ residencies, will be performed in Arabic with translations projected on screen. Writers include Rania Mamoun, Bo Mima, and Anouar Rahmani, as well as other residents from ICORN cities in Europe. After the reading, the writers will discuss their experiences in exile with Nevine Abraham, Assistant Teaching Professor and Coordinator of Arabic Studies in the Department of Languages, Cultures, and Applied Linguistics at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
