A LOOK INTO THE LIFE OF A REFUGEE

Ghayath Almadhoun fled Syria and now resides in Sweden. Hassan Blasim fled Iraq and now lives in Finland. Both writers had to leave friends and family behind to escape a war; a war, however, that continues to play a part in their daily lives. Explore the North will engage them in discussion about homelessness, rage, love and the necessity of art. Both poets will be performing their work on the cargo ship Bald’r.
