Fiesta حفلة Party Noria’s Launch Event

A powerful gathering of creativity, conversation, and solidarity.

This was our official launch event, a special and powerful gathering of creativity, conversation, and solidarity where we explored the importance of working together, creative resistance, and reimagining community. It was an evening celebrating our journey thus far and uplifting our communities through the power of the Arts.

We had an inspiring lineup with a spoken word performance, thought-provoking panel, and a live DJ set that kept the energy going! Funded by the Coop.
