We run not for profit events platforming British Muslim artists and artists from marginalised communities. Our aims are to platform, develop and nurture artists, poets, comedians, playwrights and musicians working in the grey area of Islam, diasporic experience and other intersections of identity. Our events are generally sold out, which highlights the need and importance of providing these spaces for our communities, they give our audiences a sense of belonging and opens up a willingness to share from their own life experiences through our open mic segments. We headline 4/5 artists per event and pay each artist an equal fee.We invite the audience to partake in open mic and normally have a minimum of 10 people who take to the mic. We have a live band that supports all of the performers and open mic’ers throughout the night. We have filled out every venue we’ve hired in the past which highlight the need for these spaces. We ran our first event since the pandemic at Soho Theatre and sold out 150 seats. We have provided opportunity for showcasing and networking that have led on to collaborations on projects outside of our space
Our stakeholders are British Muslim artists and artists from marginalised communities as well as the general public from these communities. As a British Muslim with a vast history in the arts and culture sector I am uniquely positioned to facilitate the development of this project. With the feedback garnered from our artists and audiences over the years I have been able develop a model that can provide the opportunities and profile that artists from our communities so desperately deserve. We have requested feedback from past events to make sure that we’re on the right track and addressing the needs of our stakeholders. Our social media presence has steadily increased and always see’s a boom post events when people are sharing videos and photographs from the night. Interest in future events always peak at this point. We continue dialogue with artists to make sure we can support their needs or connect them with the right people when we’re not in a position to do so.
