Tasneim Zyada

A perfectly calm storm on the spoken word scene, Tasneim Zyada is a published Palestinian-British writer. Her work explores the generational stories that rise to the surface within her own. Having started out in 2015 as a regular performer at London open mics, her words have since taken her internationally. She has been featured in several festivals – notably Shubbak, AWAN, Bloomsbury Festival, PalArt Fest and recently in Athen’s International Video Poetry Festival. Zyada’s other accolades include facilitating sold out poetry workshops and voiceover work – voicing a character in George the Poet’s multi-award winning podcast. Currently, Zyada is writing her debut poetry collection to be published in 2024/25.
