The Brown Girls Do It Too After-Party.

The Hen-nah Party is a queer alternative to traditional henna nights, minus the gender norms. The night is by and for queer South Asians, with allies very welcome to join. Come express yourself and meet more of the community. Expect a celebration with live performances, music, dance, poetry, chaat, chat and of course, henna.

HuqThat is a platform dedicated to celebrating the ancient body art rituals that use henna. Aiming to make henna more accessible, HuqThat serves as a space for queer and non-binary people to explore henna beyond its most common associations – weddings.

Free entry.

Make an evening of it and get a ticket to Brown Girls Do It Too: Mama Told Me Not To Come and join the party after the show.
