Description

An evening celebrating original artwork and performance from Muslim creatives For the past decade, MIPSTERZ has hosted a mixed-media showcase to mark the end of Ramadan and celebrate Eid. For many of us who don’t have the privilege of spending Eid with our families, these events were created for us to reconnect with old friends and make new ones on the auspicious day of Eid, inshallah. Join us this year with our friends Black Muslims Now and Muslim Writers Collective to celebrate amazing Muslim talent while also strengthening our communities. We’ll be featuring music, spoken word, visual art, and film from Muslim creatives around NYC. Not to mention we’ll have refreshments, photo opps for your Eid outfit, a live DJ, and immersive art from the ALHAMDU | MUSLIM FUTURISM series and more. If you RSVP by April 29, entrance is free/pay-what-you-wish.
