Our Belief:
“By promoting Islamic arts, we aim to foster mutual understanding and revive the tradition of excellence in beautifying life’s elements—homes, clothing, food, and worship—as God is beautiful and loves beauty.”
History:
Founded in 2019, MANC unites local creatives to challenge stereotypes about Islam through art. Our first festival, TIFA, launched in 2021 and evolved into MANC FEST in 2024.
Quote from Founder (Abdah Khalifa):
“Growing up in the West, Islam was portrayed as violent and ugly. Through Islamic art, we aim to highlight its divine beauty and excellence (ehsan).”
