Are you an emerging poet?
Would you like to read your poetry at SAI?

SAI presents a night of poetry reading inspired by the life and poetry of the prolific Faiz Ahmed Faiz.

This event is part of the programming for our exhibition Unspoken Influence: The Legacy of Indus Gallery.  Faiz would frequently read new works of poetry at Indus Gallery among friends, artists, and literati. It was a space of friendly discussion and experimentation.

We invite participants to sit back, relax, and enjoy while engaging with Chicago-based poets.

If you want to read your poems at SAI please fill out the this form by no later than November 30, 2026.
