HAFLA! w/ Harem of No One, Shkembe Soup, Ekay Dub & Carthnage

HAFLA! is back with multifarious line up of live acts and DJs, exploring the breadth of Middle Eastern, north African and Balkan music.

• Harem of No One @Haremofnoone

Collective of queer and feminist performers of Turkish, Kurdish, Cypriot and Southwest-Asian heritages living in London. They take inspiration from harems of the past, where women and queer folk were ‘owned’, enslaved and sexually abused by a powerful male figure ; but at the same time there was a culture of solidarity and creation of art, beauty and eroticism. 

They’ve got rid of the toxic owner, liberated the oppressed and made The Harem of No One, with the desire to show their art, beauty and sexualities through performance, art, music and love; while creating a safe space for our communities.

• Shkembe Soup @shkembesoup

Troupe of musicians, singers & dancers, performing ARABIC/TURKISH/ROMA GYPSY MUSIC & DANCE WITH A ROCK AND ROLL TWIST!
