The Bradford Literature Festival 2021 hosted the 5th International Yorkshire Adabee Forum Mushaira, an evening of poetry and culture.
Traditionally a mushaira was a symposium where poets gathered to share their work. In contemporary Pakistan and North India, they remain an integral part of creative culture, acting as forums for free self-expression. Here in the UK they also offer an opportunity to preserve traditional cultural practices, language and heritage.
Poetry readings by: Jawad Ahmed, Tasneem Hassan, Samia Naz Iqbal, Arousa Malik, Kabir Mujahid, Tahira Noman, Syeda Kauzar Munawar, Saba Alam Shah, Nughmana Kanwal Sheikh, Sohail Zarar Khalish, Shabana Yousuf, Manan Qadeer Manan, Dr Qaiser Zaidi, Aqeel Danish, Dr Mukhtar uddin Ahmed.
