KOUKASH / Reading + Open Mic

Readings by the incredible Zein El-Amine, Dalia Elhassan, Hazem Fahmy, and Meryem Rabia.

We will be hosting an Open Mic after the performances. Sign up list will be available at the event -- first come, first served!

Meet us at the historic KGB Red Room.

In addition to your ticket, we require a 1 drink minimum for all guests 🥂

We're grateful for your support, which allows us to continue to host and promote minority writers through our reading series.

👾 What is the KOUKASH REVIEW?

A new indie literary magazine featuring Pan-Arab, South West Asian / North African voices. We are diasporic SWANA in all our brilliant hues: brown, black, gold, camouflaged in your white suburb or peppered like stop signs within your city. Middle East? More like Middle of the World. Cradle of Civilization, baby. We're alien, indigenous, nostalgic, permanent. Whether abroad or at home, we carry old conquests within us, alongside our glorious revolutions.

Shes, gays, theys, and all marginal writers (from all continents and backgrounds) are especially encouraged to submit their poetry, prose, and essays. We are currently accepting work for our premier issue and we'd love for you to be a part of our beginnings.

Follow us on IG (@KoukashReview).

Koukash events are a safe space. We won't tolerate hate in any form, so please arrive ready to respect the readers and the venue 🙏
