The meeting was attended by the Director of Culture of Irbid, Dr. Sultan Al-Zaghoul, who noted that the modernization works included restoring the house and collecting Arar's furniture and belongings, which enhances its status as a cultural site that preserves a part of Jordanian literary history and allows new generations to learn about the poet's biography and legacy.
Writer Dr. Sarah Talib Al-Suhail discussed Arar's biography and poetic experience, pointing to his bias toward humanity, the homeland, and freedom. At the same time, she recalled the legacy of Wasfi Al-Tal, noting that the house preserves in its memory the legacy of the word left by the father and the legacy of the stance left by the son.
Al-Suhail praised Ms. Wasfiya Al-Tal and her role in preserving the legacy of her father and brother, and conveying a part of the family's memory to new generations, while Wasfiya Al-Tal spoke about the museum and her memories of her father Arar and her brother Wasfi, evoking the human dimension of the items kept by the house.
The meeting witnessed literary interventions about Arar's life, biography, and poetic experience with the participation of Yousef Talafah, Alaa Khreisat, Mohammed Melhem Fadhil Al-Tal, Abdul Mahdi Al-Ramadhneh, and poet Mohammed Al-Sawa'ir, while the meeting was moderated by journalist Mustafa Khreisat.
The meeting comes as an affirmation of the importance of Arar House as more than just a heritage site, as it represents a living space to restore literary and national memory, introduce the legacy of one of Jordan's most prominent poets, and connect the place to its cultural and historical context in the city of Irbid.
