Frustrated by the lack of a platform for spoken word and poetry expression in Qatar, five passionate art lovers founded Words & Strings (W&S) in 2014 to bridge the gap between talented artists and eager audiences. W&S is more than just a platform – its a thriving community where artists and art lovers can connect, share their voices, and celebrate the power of spoken word.

Our VISION

Grow Qatar‘s creative scene by fostering a multicultural community of poets, spoken word artists, and musicians. Our events are more than performances – they‘re a celebration of creative writing and the literary arts. We‘re shining a light on Qatar‘s vibrant spoken word scene and showcasing the country‘s commitment to nurturing artistic talent, both locally and on the international stage.

Our Mission

Foster a vibrant community of spoken word artists, poets, musicians, and art lovers. Empower them to connect, share their voices, and refine their talents through a thriving platform and enriching educational experiences. Words & Strings elevates the local arts scene and showcases Qatar‘s commitment to artistic growth on a global stage.
