The evening featured readings from celebrated Emirati poets Dr Abdul Hakim Al-Zubaidi and Dhaen Shaheen, who shared the stage with distinguished Polish poet Jacek Posciadło.

Attended by an audience of international writers, publishers, and literature enthusiasts, the session was thoughtfully structured as a creative dialogue bridging Arabic and Polish poetic traditions. The featured works explored universal themes of memory, identity, reflection, and the shared human experience.
