Kensington Community Iftar
Monday, June 4th, 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Kensington's Muslim and non-Muslim residents are invited to celebrate together as Muslims break that day's fast. The fast is observed daily during the entire holy month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, a time of prayer and atonement.
Taste food from Indonesia, Nigeria, Uzbekistan, and other countries as Muslim writers and artists share their work. See the special appearance by Brooklyn Historical Society and its "Muslims in Brooklyn" project.
Arts and Democracy is hosting a special Kensington Community Iftar for Muslim and non-Muslim neighbors on Monday, June 4th, from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., to celebrate Ramadan. Iftar is the breaking of the fast every evening after sunset during Ramadan.
Brooklyn Historical society, the co-sponsor, will share information and work from its new multi-year public arts and oral history project, "Muslims in Brooklyn." The project documents the oral histories of various Muslims across the borough, including Kensington residents.
The evening will end with Muslim American writers sharing their work.
The outdoor event is free and open to all. It will be held at Avenue C Plaza in Kensington, located at the intersection of McDonald Avenue and Avenue C.
