About this event
The quieter, wordier half of the Hekayyatna weekend. Spoken word, live music, archive material and hands-on workshops trace stories rooted in the SWANA experience, staged outdoors on the Southbank's riverside terrace. Hekayyatna means 'our stories' in Arabic, and the day is built around conversation and shared discovery rather than one headline act.
