Spoken Word Poetry in beautiful, electrifying, Arabic! Hodeib is on a revolutionary path... it's one of words not swords. An Artist's true weapon: Expression.

Mohamad's Bio
As an artist, Mohamad fuses multiple disciplines producing a rich concept of art experimentation and political expression. Having studied Political Science/International Affairs at LAU, Mohamad spends his mornings behind a desk as a research assistant. Later, he is "el walad", a committed art activist in the Lebanese downstream cultural movement. Since 2009, he has conducted socially-conscious art projects, contributed to the formation of several collectives, and outspokenly advocated the "Root of Change".
He was the front man of Lebanese rock band "Wled el Balad", a founding member of "el Yafta" literary club for socially-conscious writers, and an active contributor to the "Naked Wagon Community" and "the Resident Refugees movement".
