About the event
This event draws a meaningful connection to Nsenga Knight’s recent work, Close to Home, which explores themes of identity, belonging, and the quest for spiritual and personal grounding. Knight’s work resonates deeply with the themes in The Dissolving Cloud, highlighting the universal journey of seeking one’s true essence and place in the world.
An enlightening discussion connecting "The Dissolving Cloud", a collection of poems that delve into themes of love, spirituality, and inner transformation. Authored by Basirah, these poems were partly penned during a transformative period in Yemen & Egypt  where the serene landscapes and rich cultural heritage provided profound inspiration.
Through readings and discussions, we will explore how these creative expressions, both distant and close to home, weave together a tapestry of shared human experiences and spiritual quests. This event promises to be a soul-stirring exploration of art, poetry, and the enduring search for inner peace and connection.
