Remi Kanazi Biography
Remi Kanazi is a Palestinian-American performance poet, writer, and organizer based in New York City whose work is recognized in spoken word poetry and human rights activism. Influenced by underground hip hop, Def Poetry Jam on Broadway, and artists such as Suheir Hammad and Carlos Andres Gomez, Kanazi began writing spoken word to address the erasure of Palestinian narratives and connect the struggle for Palestinian rights to broader global justice movements.
Kanazi is the editor of the anthology of hip hop, poetry, and art, "Poets for Palestine," and the author of two poetry collections: "Poetic Injustice: Writings on Resistance and Palestine" and "Before the Next Bomb Drops: Rising Up From Brooklyn to Palestine." In his poetry, Kanazi explores topics including racism in America, police brutality, U.S. militarism, conflict voyeurism, and Islamophobia. "Poets for Palestine" features a range of voices, including Palestinian poets Suheir Hammad, Nathalie Handal, Fady Joudah, Annemarie Jacir, Mahmoud Darwish, and Naomi Shihab, as well as African American poets Patricia Smith and Amiri Baraka.
Kanazi's poetry employs a conversational style to deliver structured commentary on activism and social justice. He has performed at venues across the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East, and has appeared at the Palestine Festival of Literature and Poetry International. His political commentary has been featured by news outlets including the New York Times, Salon, Al Jazeera English, and BBC Radio.
Kanazi has served as a writer in residence and advisory board member for the Palestine Writing Workshop, teaching spoken word poetry in Palestine. He has led poetry workshops and given talks in locations ranging from Oklahoma to the West Bank and New York City to London. Kanazi is a Lannan Residency Fellow and serves on the advisory board of the US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel. Through his writing, performances, and organizing, Kanazi uses spoken word poetry to address injustice and engage audiences in social and political issues.
