Rhythms & Mixes: A Night with Simona Abdallah, DJ Hiba Salameh, and MUSYS

Join Liverpool Arab Arts Festival and Savera UK for a night of exhilarating rhythms and mixes from three powerful female musicians of Arab heritage: internationally renowned percussionist Simona Abdallah; Palestinian music producer, filmmaker and DJ, Hiba Salameh, and Jordanian sound artist, creative producer and DJ, Yasmeen Soudani (MUSYS).

Celebrating her virtuosity on the darbuka, an instrument traditionally dominated by men, Simona will bring her rhythmic energy to Rough Trade, Liverpool in a powerful solo set, before showcasing her unparalleled improvisational skills performing with DJ Hiba Salameh and MUSYS.

Named by Mixmag as ‘one of the Palestinian DJs you need to know’, DJ Hiba Salameh’s electrifying sets navigate through the wide universe of electronic music blending the huge heritage of Arabic music with its counterparts from the planet’s southern hemisphere.

MUSYS plays experimental electronica shaped by nostalgia and futurist Arab themes. She has played across the country from the Jazz Cafe to Royal Albert Hall. As a sound artist, her practice explores migration, land and collective identity, drawing on archaeology, sonic cultures and imagined futures.

In conversation with Simona Abdallah: Finding Freedom Through Art

Savera UK, in partnership with Liverpool Arab Arts Festival welcomes internationally recognised percussionist, Simona Abdallah, to Rough Trade Liverpool for an afternoon of thought-provoking conversation intertwined with Simona’s powerful performances on the darbuka, a hand-played traditional percussion instrument.

Simona is one of the first female percussionists of Arab heritage to achieve international recognition on the darbuka – an instrument traditionally dominated by men.

Our discussion will explore the patriarchal constraints that Simona faced in embracing the darbuka, her personal story in which her family attempted to force her into an array of marriages, and how she overcame those challenges to find freedom and success through her art.

The conversation will be hosted by Sara Suliman, a UK-based Sudanese filmmaker, Chevening scholar, researcher, producer, director and a member of the LAAF board of directors. The event will feature a welcome from Savera UK CEO & Founder, Afrah Qassim, conversation, live acoustic performances and a Q&A session.

My Father and Qaddafi – UK Premiere, Film Screening and Q&A

A daughter unravels the disappearance of her father, the peaceful opposition leader to Qaddafi, and pieces together her mother’s 19-year search to find him. Without any memory of her father, she tries to reconnect with him and reconcile with her Libyan identity.

Synopsis (88 minutes – USA, Libya)

When Jihan was six years old, her father flew to Cairo and never returned. Mansur Rashid Kikhia was the Foreign Minister of Libya, ambassador to the United Nations, and a human rights lawyer. After serving in Qaddafi’s increasingly brutal regime, he defected from the government and became the leader of the peaceful opposition. For many, Kikhia was a rising star who could have been the next leader of Libya, however, in 1993 he disappeared from his hotel in Egypt.

Jihan’s mother Baha Al Omary, a strong-willed Syrian-American artist, began searching for him, launching the family into an international political maze. Her mission to find justice brought her to the Libyan desert in the middle of the night, face to face with Qaddafi to negotiate her husband’s release. Yet it wasn’t until after the regime’s fall, 19 years later, that his body was found in a freezer near Qaddafi’s palace.

My Father and Qaddafi takes the audience on a raw and reflective journey as Jihan pieces together a father she barely remembers, while discovering the troubled history and politics of Libya. Her journey starts from fading personal memories, leading to encounters with family members, her father’s peers, and historical archive footage.

Hoping at first to uncover the truth, Jihan instead transforms the mystery into a curiosity that brings her closer to her father and her Libyan identity. She approaches politics not as a distant subject, but as a lived experience that penetrates into every human relationship – even between a little girl and her father.

Director’s Bio

Jihan was born in exile and raised in Paris while her father, a Libyan human rights lawyer, was the peaceful opposition leader to Qaddafi’s regime. After her father disappeared from Cairo, her family lived between the United States and France, while her mother, a Syrian artist, fought for justice in an international campaign. Jihan received her BA in International and Comparative Politics with a concentration in Human Rights, Philosophy, and International Law and her MA in Art Education and Storytelling.

Director’s Statement

I don’t want my father to disappear a second time. I feel an urgency to overcome my void in the midst of Libya’s relentless chaos and instability, which I fear will eventually bury my connection to Libya. In my documentary film, My Father and Qaddafi, I search through other people’s memories trying to create a clearer picture of my father who I don’t remember.

Making this documentary helps me understand the importance of a father figure and the impact of losing a father on a family, a community, and even a country. Sharing my father’s untold story is also sharing an untold story of Libya, one that spans almost one century of Libyan history and politics. As I reflect with my father’s colleagues over their lost Libya, I wish I could ask my father, how did we end up like this? And how is Libya going to break free from this cycle of trouble?

As I reconstruct my father’s portrait, I plant the seed for a deeper, more honest connection with him and to free my hidden voice. Instead of compartmentalizing my father as a one-dimensional hero from the past, I search for the man behind the myth and try to reintegrate him into my present life as a human being and a loving father.

Since I was 6 years old, my mother told us the truth, and although this has tempered the shock, I still struggle with a constant surreal feeling. Despite my fragmented memories, my fears, and my cultural limitations in Libyan society, I am trying to overcome this surreal feeling and reconnect with my father and with Libya on my own terms, as an open hearted woman. This is one of the ways I am hoping to hold my father before he disappears completely from my memory and even potentially from Libya’s memory.

The Book of Damascus

Join Liverpool Arab Arts Festival 2026 for a celebration of storytelling, writing, and critical thinking from the Syrian Capital, in association with Comma Press.

Damascus is a city of contradictions. Simultaneously the oldest city in the world, rich with Roman, Byzantine and early Islamic architecture, and one of the most modern and developed in the Middle East, it stands at a cross-roads between East and West, the past and the future, peace and war. The latest instalment in Comma’s ‘Reading the City’ series is filled with the perspectives of ordinary Syrians we never read about in the news – be they teenage boys scheming to raise funds for a longed-for Eid picnic; impoverished girls picking through rubbish dumps hoping to find gold, or more mystical characters like the mysterious guardians who watch over the seven planet-themed gates of the old town.

LAAF, in association with Comma Press, would like to invite you to join us for an evening of readings, translations and discussions about the challenges that Damascus has survived and what lies ahead for it, in these most precarious times.

The event will be chaired by Comma’s Ra Page.

WoWFEST: Jimmy Rose: a radio play in a theatrical setting

Pariah Productions presents Jimmy Rose, written and directed by Tom Hall, produced for One Hour Theatre Company, by Victor Merriman.

Jimmy Rose is presented as a radio play in a theatrical setting, offering WoWFest audiences a unique collective listening experience.

At a tender age Herman Melville experienced a reversal of fortune upon the sudden death of his father, a man of apparently substantial means.  The family was suddenly confronted with a mountain of debt and the ruin of all their immediate expectations. Perhaps this turn of fate prompted the many critiques of American capitalism which appear both as themes and traces in his body of work.

“Jimmy Rose”, draws on Melville’s short story of the same name, set in old New York before the Civil War, and foregrounding a glamorous bachelor plutocrat who has attained an Olympian stature in the city. Everybody knows Jimmy Rose, the great and the good seek to dine at his table, where he dispenses wit, bonhomie, and business advice.

Yet when quite literally his ship(s) fail to come in, this paragon of American success falls from that Paradise from whose heights he once projected ultimate authority and influence.  It is an honour to present “Jimmy Rose” under WoWFEST 2026’s theme, New World Disorder, not least because of the origins of contemporary upheavals in a febrile world-financial system forged in nineteenth-century urban America. – Tom Hall, Dublin. May 2026

Jimmy Rose is Tom Hall’s fifth play for WoWFest, his Bartleby: A Tale of Wall Street featuring in the online festival (2021), Anything for a Laugh (2024), I Live Alone and My Own Free Voice (double bill, 2025). Tom was born in Vermont, USA, and has lived in Ireland since 1995, following periods in Mexico, where he began writing. Jimmy Rose develops the production values of previous plays, which featured solo performers, David Llewelyn (2021), Victor Merriman (2024 and 2025a), and Jane Hogarth (2025b), respectively. Tom assembled a cast of well-established Irish actors to record the play at Les Keye’s Arad Studios, Dublin. Brendan Conroy, who is known to Liverpool audiences for his lead role in Lizzie Nunnery’s Intemperance (Capital of Culture production, Everyman Theatre), plays Jimmy Rose.

Victor Merriman is Emeritus Professor in Drama at Edge Hill University, and a founder-director of One Hour Theatre Company.

“Sumud versus the Sword”: Solidarity, Direct Action, and Palestinian Liberation

Join Palestinian youth organisers, student activists, former political prisoners, and international human rights observers from the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), Youth Front For Palestine (YFFP), and Jordan Valley Solidarity (JVS) for a discussion on the realities of what has been described by human rights organisations, including the United Nations, Amnesty International, and Médecins Sans Frontières, as ‘genocide’ and ‘ethnic cleansing’ in Palestine. Speakers will share first-hand experiences of occupation, resistance, and organising in both the West Bank and UK, while exploring what sumud (steadfastness) and solidarity look like in practice. The event will examine the role of direct action, popular struggle, and Palestinian-led movements in confronting settler colonial violence and Israeli apartheid.

Individual names have been withheld for safety and security. Kindly note that select panelists will join online or via video from Palestine. Image by ActiveStills.

To read the first entry in the exclusive series, Breaking the Sword in Occupied Palestine, co-written by ISM, JVS, and YFFP organisers, visit Red Pepper Media.

The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) emerged in 2001 during the Second Intifada after Palestinian popular committees called for international civic protection. Palestinians lead ISM’s work through consultation with grassroots communities and activists. As a movement, ISM is consensus-based and anti-oppression. Tactically, it uses non-violent direct action to deter Israeli settler and military violence, as well as break the isolation of apartheid. Social media: @ismpalestine

The Youth Front For Palestine (YFFP) launched in Spring 2022 after being inspired by the Unity Intifada of 2021. It is Palestinian-led, strives to uphold the Thawabet, and mobilises youth across the UK to take action against the Zionist entity. Through mass demonstrations, BDS campaigns, and community education events, the YFFP aims to pressure the government and businesses to end their complicity in the Gaza genocide and subjugation of Palestine. Social media: @y.f.f.p

The Jordan Valley Solidarity (JVS) campaign is a network of Palestinian grassroots organisations from all over the Jordan Valley, along with their international supporters. JVS aims to protect Palestinian existence and the unique environment of the Jordan Valley by supporting shepherding and farming communities across the West Bank. This includes monitoring to prevent the abuse of Palestinian human rights by the Israeli occupation. Social media: @jordan.valley.solidarity
