Poetic Hafla (arab. for party) is an event series that focusses on presenting middle eastern/mediterranian artists based in Berlin. The main idea of the Poetic Hafla is creating a place to experiment and to share ideas. This idea is complemented with many artistic forms of expression: readings, music, stand-up comedy, and performances.
The organisers say about themselves and their artists: "We are Mediterranian - a sea!", referring to the diversity of backgrounds, expressions, aesthetics and contributions. The event series shows the liveliness of Middle Eastern culture and the importance of Berlin as a cultural hub and home of the many.
The Poetic Hafla provides a safe/brave space that is all about listening, embracing, sharing, appreciating each other and coming together.
Poetic Hafla was founded in 2015 by Barack Moyal and Mati Shemoelof,
two Israeli/German artists and authors who live in Berlin.
Poetic Hafla is held mostly in English, Arabic and Hebrew.
