Calling all Muslim artists and aspiring artists! Are you creative in the arts? If you have a passion for poetry, photography, calligraphy, history, heritage, culture, architecture, performing a nasheed/naat or playing an Islamic instrument, MACFEST 2021 needs YOU! We’d love to hear from you if you can link any of these skills to what it’s like living in Bolton and being a Muslim. Additionally, can you tell us: • • • •
What was Eid and Ramadhan like during lockdown? If you’ve faced hate crime and Islamophobia. How you’ve coped with births, marriages and deaths. If you’ve done anything to help others in need, such as help in a foodbank.
To coincide with Refugee Week in June, we’d also like to know what welcome you received whilst moving to, and living in, Bolton as an Asylum Seeker and a Refugee. For the The Great Get Together, tell us about issues that are common to us, rather than those that divide us. Plus, what’s really friendly about Bolton as a place to live? Also look out for activities at the Octagon Theatre involving Muslim artists.
