What sets Baithak apart is conversation: we look to create dialogue and interaction between artists and their audience, making sure that people do not simply 'perform' but also speak.\n\nWe have two more types of sessions along with our titular specialty, namely the Baithak Classroom and Poetry Workshops.\n\nThe Baithak Classroom aims to bring literary critique and analysis into the common public sphere. Our sessions seek to elaborate on poems across all languages, conducted by teachers/knowledgeable scholars.\n\nThe Baithak Poetry Workshop makes its participants reimagine writing, approach it from different perspectives, and give a direction each one's flow of thought."
