Salaam everyone, we hope you had a restful holiday break.

We are currently making some significant changes to the Academy, and as a result, we have decided to postpone the restart of Muslim Artists Academy workshops.

We’ll be pausing activities for now, but sessions will resume soon, aligned with the Ramadan calendar.

Thank you for all the energy, creativity, and commitment you’ve shown so far, it’s been wonderful to see our community coming together. We’ll be back shortly with updates and next steps.

Adil shares a few thoughts from the launch of the Muslim Artists Academy 2025 just over a month ago.

It is hard to believe how much has unfolded since then. We are deeply grateful and genuinely moved to witness a growing community of young people and creatives forming around this project.

As we move forward, this next chapter belongs to you. Your initiative, your presence, and your willingness to build together will shape the creative spaces Muslims can claim in Manchester, across the UK, and beyond.

We have so much in store for our participants, and we cannot wait to see how you take this momentum further. Thank you for being part of the Academy.

Their vision is the same as ours, their commitment to the community, and their drive to bring Muslims into the creative space mirrors that of the Muslim Artists Academy.

Thus, this weekend we will all be heading to MLF and exploring their rich and inspiring programme of events and workshops.

A glimpse into our first Visual Arts session with Zeerak Aziz last week.

Photography, as the origin of the word tells us, is the art of writing with light.

What began less than two hundred years ago as light etching itself onto a sheet of silver emulsion has already transformed how we see the world.

Entire movements, ideas, and technologies have emerged through this young art form, with new innovations continuing to push the medium further and further today.

If you have ever wanted to begin your photographic journey or start shooting video, but cameras, settings, and equipment have always felt intimidating, join us this Saturday.

We will demystify the essentials and help you step into the world of visual storytelling with confidence.
