The International Arab Poetry Festival, themed "Poetry, a bridge between the shores", takes place in Biskra from 10 to 14 November 2026.
The city of Biskra hosts a new edition of the International Arab Poetry Festival from 10 to 14 November 2026. This year's theme is "Poetry, a bridge between the shores".
The festival aims to reflect the vitality of contemporary Arab poetry and the variety of its voices. Its preface, written by Ahmed Delbani, presents poetry as a resistance to what it calls non-poetic times, and cites poets from Gilgamesh and Homer to Mahmoud Darwish and Saint-John Perse. The 2026 edition intends to welcome diverse poetic experiences and artistic sensibilities.
The festival takes place over five days of readings, meetings and dialogue between cultures. It is held in Biskra, an oasis in southern Algeria.
