An evening of remembrance, resilience, and togetherness.  

Join us for the launch of Mourning Air, a breathtakingly honest memoir by Leena Magdi. Blending poetry, prose, and storytelling, Leena opens a tender window into her world — a world reshaped by the sudden loss of her brother and the ongoing war in Sudan.

This intimate gathering will be a space to honour the weight of grief, the beauty of remembrance, and the power of words to carry us through. Leena will read selected passages from her book and share the story behind Mourning Air — a story not only of personal loss, but of finding breath again in the wake of devastation.

Whether you’ve walked through grief yourself or want to better understand its many forms, this event offers a moment of collective reflection, healing, and connection.

Expect soft music, quiet conversation, and heartfelt readings. Copies of Mourning Air will be available to purchase at the event. You’ll leave not only with a signed copy of the book, but with the sense that even in our darkest hours, we are never truly alone.

All are welcome. Come as you are. Grief has many faces — and here, all are held with care.
