Hakima meaning 'Wise Woman' in Arabic, embodies the essence of strength, wisdom and resilience of women. This captivating performance brings together local poets with roots in Africa and the Levant to honour and uplift the stories of women in times of war and displacement.
Through stories, poetry and songs Hakima shares the experiences of mothers of survivors and martyrs, of women who couldn't say goodbye; and mothers who are amplifying their voices and drawing inspiration from their resilience, faith and unwavering fortitude. It's a moving exploration of the wisdom that emerges from challenges, offering a platform for these wise women to share their invaluable life lessons and tales of perseverance.
This performance has support from Hume City Council's Arts Grants program.
