“RAWIFest, co-hosted by Mizna, is a biannual conference that has been held for three decades and running, bringing together Arab and SWANA creatives as well as non-SWANA allies–not only poets, prose writers, and playwrights, but visual artists, performance artists, musicians, educators and scholars–both in diaspora in North America as well as from other regions.”

Aliah Lavonne Tigh is a featured reader at the conference, and they read on October 27th, 3pm.
