Jamie MK (HEF) was inspired by the graffiti movement that swept New York City in the early eighties and has been painting for the last 20 years. He has been commissioned by major corporations such as Budweiser and Nation's Rent for commercial art murals. His work can be viewed throughout NY's five boroughs and in several European cities.

Join us on January 20th at 7pm for We've Come Undone, a series of monologues created and performed by NYC artivist Kayhan Irani. We've Come Undone is an often humorous, sometimes touching - but always provocative - look at the impact of recent legislation on Arab, Muslim and South Asian communities within the U.S. Using research and personal interviews, the monologues portray women and girls struggling to make sense of life in an America caught in the grip of distrust.
