Curated and hosted by poet and imagination coach Anna Mouchref, this recurring salon acts as a vessel for soulful expression, gathering performers to share stories and verses that capture the complexities of the human experience.

Unlike the city’s standard literary gatherings, the salon functions as a container for witnessing. Whether hosting seasoned voices or championing debut performances, as seen in this special edition focused on "New Beginnings". The event consistently invites participants to reclaim their voice and treat poetry as a living, breathing ritual. Mouchref, whose own practice weaves language into portals of transformation, creates an environment where the boundary between the performer and the audience feels remarkably thin.

In a city often defined by its historical monuments, Read Writing Hood offers something deeply old, yet modern: a space for spontaneous improvisation, vulnerability, and the joy of the in-between. To attend an evening is to step away from the noise of the capital and into a room where words are treated with genuine, quiet reverence. It is a vital, non-profit commitment to keeping the city’s heart beating with art.
