Afkaaga Hooyo waa Dahab! Your Mother Tongue is Gold!


Numbi Arts is back.

Join us for an evening of spoken word, dance, live music, DJs, food and visual art.

The early evening is family friendly, stick around til after 10pm for dancing and DJ sets…

This event launches the official NUMBI 2020 theme and programme, “MAPS”.

We invite you to explore an evening of Multilingual celebration as we raise, centre and map in true NUMBI form.

Numbi is inspired by a Somali dance; we create spaces of freedom where artists from different disciplines collaborate to create sonic-filmic-movements.

Our mother tongues offer us sanctuary, communion and a sense of freedom.

Stay forever proud of your mother tongue!

Featuring: Elmi Ali, Hodan Styrene + London Somali Quartet Saleh Hariiri, Said Hussain, Omar Teysiyow, Abdullahi Cujeer + Kaltun Bacado + Open Mic and DJ sets + Special Guests including Suldaan and Qasim Karama

Numbi the place where gifted poets flex their linguistic muscle, talented musicians make you move our feet and cutting-edge filmmakers keep you glued to the screen with their latest films. Numbi is about art, movement, dance, rhythm and it’s about fun!
Attending one of their events means exploring time, location and senses to other possibilities. They always ensure that diasporic and different voices are woven through their work; whether queer, pan-African or disabled

This event will begin at 7.30pm.
