To Be An (Arab): Visual and Audio Storytelling in Dubai
The Fridge
In Conversation with Narcy
Experience the (r)evolutionary artistry of Yassin ‘Narcy’ Alsalman at To Be An (Arab): Visual and Audio Storytelling with NARCY, celebrating the launch of his Latest Double LP.
This album, currently only on vinyl, crafted after a three-year hiatus, dives deep into themes of technology, identity, and self-improvement, featuring collaborations with luminaries like Dave Chappelle, Talib Kweli, redveil, Ziad Rahbani and more.
NARCY, a celebrated multimedia polymath and cultural visionary, blends his award-winning storytelling, music, and cinematic visuals to create an immersive experience. Known for his dynamic teaching at Concordia University In Montréal and as co-founder of Montreal’s cultural hub MAKTABA, Yassin’s work bridges art, the literary, and the imaginary.
The album launch will be followed by an in-conversation about independence, industry rejection, and his 20-year journey as an Arab Hip-Hop pioneer.
