A group of poets who traveled to Egypt and Tunisia during the Arab spring document the revolutions through a poetic lens. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Videographer: Amira Noshokati Editor: Rachel Beth Anderson On 28 November the non-profit organization Al-Dar, in collaboration with the Egyptian embassy in Berlin, held a poetry evening dedicated to poetry great Salah Jaheen (1930-1986), in celebration of his 80th birthday. The event opened with a brief biography of Jaheen, a cartoonist, poet, screenwriter and actor, as Renee Abul-Ela Al-Dar, director and an old friend of Jaheen, and El-Sayed Tag Eldin, the Egyptian Cultural Attache, shed more light on the multi-talented artist. Poets Bahaa Jaheen and Ahmed Haddad, Jaheen's son and grandson, respectively, recited a selection of Jaheen's famous poems, including his quartets and his most famous poem Ala Esm Masr (In the name of Egypt). A hand full of Jaheen's famous songs followed, with Mona Ragi Enayet, Naser Qelada and Heba Sherif singing the night away. This video is footage from poem Ala Esm Masr (In The Name of Egypt).

Poem about the historic celebration in Tahrir Square, Cairo, 11 February 2011, by David Roberts. Spoken by the author with the scenes and sounds of Tahrir Square followed by a BBC radio news broadcast covering the same event. A turning point in Egyptian history when the dictator, Hozni Mubarak, was overthrown by a sustained and courageous uprising of the Egyptian people with huge demonstrations day and night for eighteen days in cities around Egypt , but especially in Cairo's Tahrir Square.

This one is called Believe. I dedicate this poem to all my brothers and sisters in Egypt at the moment. We all know what's going on (if you don't, then pay attention in the poem!) and the least we can do is make dua/prayers for them, and along with every other oppressed country in the world. I hope you enjoy this piece, I know it's a bit long...but there was too much to write! My other video got deleted somehow...so I uploaded the poem again. Check out the facebook page to follow up with the latest poems! :) www.facebook.com You can find me on Twitter at: twitter.com
