This is the second year of Awraq festival. This year we are trying something different – we are centering the festival around organising a small UK tour for Palestinian-American poet Fady Joudah. His poetry and point of view as a Palestinian in this time of genocide are important for us to share, and we are very glad to be able to bring him to the UK.  

Any funds raised through tickets or donations will support some festival costs, including travel expenses for speakers, with the remainder allocated to the Bristol’s Palestine Museum for diverse projects and initiatives with other charities and organisations.
