Rooftop Rhythms will take place at NYU Abu Dhabi on 24th of March.

Rooftop Rhythms is the Middle East’s longest-running poetry open mic which entertains, educates, and inspires as it shines a spotlight on some of the UAE’s most talented established and up-and-coming spoken word and performing artists.

In its fifth season, presented by Black on Black Rhyme-Abu Dhabi, Jean Hellon Productions, and The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi with official support from US Embassy Abu Dhabi, this diverse celebration of oral expression is hosted by Rooftop Rhythms founder Dorian Paul Rogers. The smooth sounds of DJ A.L.L.A.D. keep the crowd moving and grooving between performances.

Organized by: The Arts Center NYUAD
Venue: the Marketplace, NYU Abu Dhabi Campus Center, 2nd Floor, Abu Dhabi

This event is open to all ages. Traditional dress (i.e. khandora, abaya, hijab) is allowed.
