Join us for Taqwacore: The Birth of Punk Islam, a documentary Spin Magazine hailed as one of the "Top Ten Best Music Docs of 2009." This documentary, three years in the making, follows the progression of the Muslim Punk scene: from its imaginary inception in a novel written by a convert named Michael Muhammad Knight to a full-blown, real-life scene of Muslim punk bands and their fans. Then participate in a panel discussion immediately following the film on the diversity within Muslim communities and the complexities of identity.
