About this Event
Join us for an evening of poetry from three esteemed Palestinian writers and performers.
Hosted by Margate local Harry Baker.
Mohammed Mousa
Mohammed Mousa is a Palestinian poet, podcast host and founder of the Gaza Poets Society — a platform for emerging voices from Gaza and beyond. Born and raised in Gaza, he now lives in Turkey, where he continues to write and build connections across borders. He has published two poetry collections and contributed to multiple anthologies. His podcast, Gaza Guy, offers insight into everyday life under occupation and the resilience of a new generation of Palestinian creatives. He will share work that speaks with urgency, humour and hope — poems rooted in lived experience and reaching for freedom.
Dareen Tatour
Dareen Tatour is a Palestinian poet, filmmaker and activist from Reineh, near Nazareth. Her work explores identity, justice and the power of language, often weaving the personal with the deeply political. In 2018, she was convicted by an Israeli court for a poem she published online — a case that drew international condemnation and highlighted the repression faced by Palestinian artists. Her poetry challenges silencing and celebrates survival — defiant, brave and unflinching.
Fadi Murad
Fadi Murad is an actor, performer and writer from Jerusalum. He focuses on sound, text and movement to explore themes of absence and identity. Renowned for his ability to weave together traditional and contemporary forms of expression, Fadi uses sound, text and movement to grapple with themes of identity, absence, displacement, and the complexities of the Palestinian experience. His performances are characterized by a blend of physicality, emotional depth, and a profound sense of cultural storytelling.
Harry Baker
Harry Baker is a world poetry slam champion who lives in Margate. He first visited Palestine in 2012 and returned in 2017 to run the Right To Movement marathon in Bethlehem to raise money for the Amos Trust. He has also run the London marathon twice to raise money for thie work, once as a section of seperation wall, once as a giant falafel. He has never been prouder to live here than seeing the people of Margate turnign out for Palestine, and hopes they will again for this !
Thanks to the Amos Trust this event is free entry to allow as many people as possible to hear these incredible poets and their stories. There will be an option to donate on the night.
