Pay-as-you-feel
Join us for our 87th Rhubarb at The Triangle - our final event of 2025 - and who better to round off an excellent year than Bradford City of Culture star poet Nabeela Ahmed. As well as a guest set from Nabeela, we'll have our usual open mic for new writing, and first-timers are always welcome!
Nabeela Ahmed is a writer, multilingual poet and spoken word artist. Her debut poetry collection, From Kashmir to Yorkshire, was launched this year at Bradford Literature Festival via Yaffle Press. She hosts Bradford Writes, which platforms regional published writers and she is responsible for organising the first public Pahari Mushaira in Britain through Intercultured Festival. She has featured on Word of Mouth with Michael Rosen on Radio 4 and The Verb. Her project The Pahari-Pothwari Literature Project delivered two new bilingual anthologies for City of Culture Bradford 2025. She has been the Travelling Poet for Word Up North this summer and one of the core poets for BBC's Contains Strong Language.
