Last time we got together in a beautifully intimate and slightly sweaty living room to hear about Serene's exploration of the Mamluk playing cards and  Moayed's fascination with Egyptian Cotton. 

This time, we'll be gathering at Blue Cave, a brand new artist residency space in Business Bay from 6 pm to 9 pm on May 20th. Come discover what Yasmine Saab and Tarik Chelali are curious about at the last afikra session before we break for the summer!

FAQ:

What will the topics be? We like to keep these a secret until the night of, so come find out! They are always fascinating, unexplored subjects related to Arab culture and history. 

How are the presenters chosen? Every gathering features two volunteers who were curious about a specific topic they didn't know much about until they decided to explore it for afikra. The presentations are about showcasing and sharing what they found after spending some time digging into their curiosity.  

 
Can I invite friends?: Absolutely, our community counts on it! Just please have them RSVP so we can keep track of who is coming.

What should I bring? A friend and an open mind. 

Can Non-Arabs come?: Of course! Everyone is welcome!

How can I sign up to present? Attend an event and nominate yourself for a future one

 
I'm so excited about this!: That's not a question, but yes! We are excited too!
