The Poetry of Memory: Remembering Karbala

Description

An immersive evening exploring how poetry, ritual and oral tradition have preserved the memory of Karbala across generations and cultures.  

Bringing together recitation, reflection and historical conversation, the event explores the role of noha, marsiya and devotional poetry in transmitting grief, resistance, identity and collective memory.  

Moving between performance and discussion, the evening reflects on how histories survive not only through archives and institutions, but through sound, emotion, ritual and the repeated act of remembrance.
