THE WAIT IS OVER...ALMOST 😂

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Beginning next month, we are releasing the ALHAMDU project which we hope will catalyze a larger exploration of Muslim Futurism and evolve into something grand: an immersive art exhibit, public conversations/discourse, and a digital archive of our collective vision.
WHERE DID THE YEAR GO???
ALHAMDU updates, new job opportunities, featured creators, and a big update on the original listserv!
TUNE IN!
We are throwing a classic mipstery show full of music, poetry and discussion from artists like @thisiskayem, @thelookoutshift, @sabbakhanart, @nesimaa,
@theyoungvirus and more, jamming out and celebrating Eid as best as they can from home. Hosted by journalist and producer Syma Mohammed, the livestream doubles as a fundraiser for the Street Vendor COVID-19 Emergency Fund because NYC street vendors have been hit hard without our daily business.
SAVE THE DATE
We are joining the virtual nation and hosting a 1-hour special variety show to celebrate Eid (and also give you another reason to not go to everyone's house to eat that day)!
