Let’s talk creativity.

Muslamic Makers is a monthly meetup for Muslims (and those of other faiths and none) across tech and creative spaces. 

This time they will be talking all things creative! From dealing with the harsh realities of turning a hobby into a living to building infrastructures for Muslim artists to challenge power and speak our truths. The next event is all about the creative space, the people in it and what it takes to create meaningful work. They will be joined by the people behind Khidr Collective, Zain Haider and Muna Ally.
