CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF TADHAMUN - An introduction from Zainab Khan

To mark ten years since its founding, Iraqi women’s organisation, Tadhamun, hosted an evening of talks, poetry and music, highlighting the experiences of Arab women — from Iraq, Tunisia to Palestine — ‘Away from Home’. The night was held at P21 gallery, moderated by former associate foreign editor of the Guardian, Victoria Brittain, and saw contributions from author Dr. Dora Carpenter-Latiri, independent journalist Nazli Tarzi, Palestinian poet Fajir Tamimi, Oud player Francesco Iannuzzelli, and Tadhamun’s very own Zainab Khan, and in her absence, May Mudhafar’s poem — “From that Distant Land” was also performed. Living in diaspora, as each speaker uncovered, occurs abruptly in times of war, revolutionary upheaval and occupation. Peeling back the multilayers of identity in a variety of contexts, the event addressed the complex relationship generations of Arab women in diaspora have with their ‘home land’ — al Watan.
