Celebrate, Educate, Empower: Brent Islamophobia Awareness Month
Experience
Islamic art, food, dance, and culture on 25 November from 5:30-7:30pm.
Join us for Brent Council’s Islamophobia Awareness Month event on Monday 25 November, an evening dedicated to celebrating Islamic culture, educating against Islamophobia, and bringing communities together in solidarity and understanding.
Held in the Civic Centre Grand Hall, the event will feature a vibrant mix of live performances, interactive stalls, and a thought-provoking panel discussion. From traditional Nasheed and Sufi music to calligraphy and henna art, attendees will experience the richness and diversity of Islamic heritage.
A highlight of the evening will be a panel discussion chaired by Councillor Teo Benea featuring barrister and broadcaster Hashi Mohamed, human rights lawyer and former Secretary-General of the Muslim Council of Britain Zara Mohammed, and a representative from the Met Police. Together, they will explore lived experiences of Islamophobia and discuss how Brent can continue to stand united against hate while celebrating the borough’s rich diversity.
Hot food will be available, and stalls will showcase local initiatives, health services, and cultural contributions from across Brent. Whether you're coming to learn, connect, or celebrate, this event promises to be an engaging and inclusive evening for all.
Tickets are Free HERE
