In this lecture, Tunisian poet Samia Quederni will talk about the rich tradition of Tunisian women poetry and its historical roots in a mosaic of identities and ethnicities that Tunisians share such as: Amazigh (or Berber), Jewish, European (Spanish, French, Italian, Maltese, Greek), and Muslim. In addition to reading selections from her own poetry, she will also reflect on questions of translations, cross-cultural peregrination and her personal journey from Tunis to New York City.
