Read the Room - Day #3
What Do We Need for the Future?
Mophradat’s biennial festival Read the Room returns to the Kaaistudios in October 2024. With three distinct evening programmes - a game night, variety show, and an evening of words and songs - the festival asks: ‘What Do We Need for the Future?’ Writers, visual artists, choreographers, musicians, and filmmakers come together to make new work with each other and with audiences to find common feelings and words.
On Saturday 19 October, the festival presents an evening of words and songs.

Launched by Mophradat in 2023, New Agents is a programme that brings together a group of people from across arts fields from the Arab world, whose practices are singular, future facing, and committed to public engagement, to work towards a joint project. The New Agents are Bayan Kiwan, Dani Arbid, Nour El Safoury, Sara Bouzgarrou, and Siwar Krai(y)tem.
