Created with the goal of giving a snapshot of contemporary and traditional musics of the South West Asia North Africa (SWANA) region, Habibi Festival aims to take listeners on a journey of the sounds wafting through the airwaves and living rooms of cities spanning Marrakech to Baghdad. This new performing arts festival is a collaboration between saxophonist/composer/curator Yacine Boulares, artist/curator/producer Meera Dugal, and Director of Joe's Pub at the Public Theater Alex Knowlton, who are bonded by the goal of creating more joyful spaces for performance, conversation, and storytelling from this part of the world. The festival, while secular in nature, gives artists the space to engage directly or indirectly with the intersectionality of Arab and Muslim identity via their performance.
