Fierce Voices features a phenomenal range of London-based Arab female DJs, spoken word poets, music and rap artists in an evening that firmly places women’s creativity centre stage.
The stellar line-up features Yomn Al-Kaisi, whose work explores grief, love and identity; Tasneim Zyada, a perfectly calm storm on the spoken word scene; Rayane Chami a poet championing community with a passion for heavy emotions; and Bint Mbareh, an experimental musician and performer who channels rituals from the past to summon new modes of resistance in the present. Bint7alal, is a rapper who specialises in smooth flows and energy-filled sounds and from the depths of the Arab underground DJ Nooriya’s set crosses borders with a mix of electro Arab, electronic Middle Eastern sounds, Dabkeh deep-bass and North African groove. Be there!
Now in its 7th year, AWAN is an initiative by Arts Canteen, bringing together an exciting and eclectic mix of collaborations and projects from inspiring Arab women artists.
