Opening Reception: Sunday, March 15th at 6PM
Habibae was founded by Atlanta artist and curator, Samiyah Malik. The purpose of Malik’s art is to elevate and inspire others to love themselves. Her initiative with Habibae is to provide the Muslim community with a space to party and vibe without the pressures of alcohol being present. Hence the term, “a halal party.” Alcohol is haram (not permissible) in Islam, and the events and spaces created by Habibae will aim to make Muslims feel comfortable practicing their faith. In collaboration with Cayce Tiedemann of Queer + Sober Atlanta, the “sober bar” will be serving mocktails and hot teas throughout the night. This collaboration also invites Queer Muslims to feel seen and be heard in the community. The talent showcased is specifically catered towards black and brown creatives, with an emphasis on Black Muslim Women artists.
Come out and enjoy local art, a sober bar, and sounds by DJ CLASSICALDREAMS, performances by AlaTheHeartist & Banglanta, and vegan eats by 7suns2moons. To stay connected and updated, follow @atlhabibae and @insamniyah for future events and open artist calls.
