• What to expect at our community events (salons)?

  afikra Salon is a semi-monthly salon-style event where members of the community present on cultural and historical topics they are curious about. The purpose of each evening is to bring together a community of like-minded individuals and have a fruitful conversation about things we don't know much about. Find out about previous talks here: www.afikra.com/library

• Can I invite friends?

  Absolutely. If you want to invite anyone, please have them RSVP so we can keep track of who is coming.

• Can non-Arabs come?

  Of course! Everyone is welcome!!

• Will there be presentations this time?

  This event is more of a social gathering for the community in the city. It is our tradition to kick-off events every year with a Soiree to allow community members a chance to meet and get to know about the upcoming events and ways to participate in them.
