George Abraham Poetry Reading
Saturday, May 4 | 5-7 p.m.
Memorial 113 – Diversity Center
PAO is hosting Chicago-based Palestinian-American poet George Abraham for a poetry reading and workshop session. The purpose of this event is to create a space where participants can learn about Palestine through poetry and reading. Especially with current world happenings, and because Arabian identities are often left out of Pan-Asian rhetoric, we feel like this is an especially important event to program.
This event will be taking place as part of PAO’s month-long event series for AAPI heritage month (which takes place every May). The event is one that we have programmed once two years prior that we are looking to bring back for this year’s AAPI heritage month celebration.
