Tonight! Join us from 6-9pm for the opening reception of “Khamsa”, a multimedia art exhibition showcasing 20 Black, Muslim, Immigrant, and Refugee visual artists and musicians traversing the five stages of grief.
“Khamsa” aims to address the different forms and contexts of grief, weaving both personal and universal experiences of loss. From the personal pain of losing a loved one, to the toll of Islamophobia and prejudice, Khamsa will draw in each and every one of us while bringing the stories and experiences of Black, Muslim, Immigrant, and Refugee artists to the forefront. This is a project to find harmony in our shared stories, bridging differences in cultures, beliefs, and history.
Tickets are sliding scale, and no one will be turned away due to lack of funds.
