Projects
Our projects are aim to promote community involvement and engagement by celebrating the powerful culture of hip-hop. We have five key focuses — Arts Education, Cultural Diplomacy, Centering Marginalized Voices, Creative Employment and For The Culture — to encourage education, the arts, entrepreneurship and, most importantly, community. We run events in the DC area and all over the US, both in-person and online.

Performances, exhibitions, workshops and dialogues from Muslim artists representing the five core elements of hip-hop culture.

Footsteps in the Dark
An original, international dance production featuring dancers of Muslim backgrounds who specialize in styles connected to hip-hop culture.
Rumi Nations
Rumi Nations is a multimedia gallery show featuring photos of Sufi communities in south Africa, Egypt and Senegal. The featured photos further “complicate” Muslim identities by depicting the diversity of Muslim communities in their everyday lives and in their places of worship and bliss. This installation tells a new story about the complexity of Muslim-ness and reflects the beauty of its many communities.
