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 hosted at The Albany in Deptford, South East London; bringing together storytelling, music, visual, and more to celebrate outsider narratives.
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.
