The title, Haramacy, is an amalgamation of the Arabic word ‘haram’, meaning indecent or forbidden, and the English word ‘pharmacy’, implying a safe, trustworthy space that prescribes the antidote to ailments caused by intersectional, social issues.
Haramacy acts as a catalyst for cross-cultural engagement for artists from Global Majority communities. It creates a space for Global Majority artists to collaborate and create works that explore intersectional social issues (race, gender, class, and ethnicity) that exist within their communities and those of their peers.
Haramacy is comprised of a residency programme and an evening of combined arts performances here at the Albany; bringing together storytelling, music, visual, and more to celebrate outsider narratives.
Now in its 4th edition, Haramacy will be presented in London to advocate for higher Global Majority participation in the Arts.
