Community

Faith, lived
together.

We begin with the people who know a place—and the care already present there.

The people behind the work

With a community.
For its people.

A community carries its own knowledge, relationships and ways of caring. Hereafter’s proposed work begins by listening to the people already part of it.

Rooted in Islam and open to the world, we want to connect local needs with people who can offer something useful: a place to gather, a creative practice, time or practical support.

How we work within spaces

A shared effort

Different gifts.
One intention.

Local voices
People and trusted liaisons who understand a neighborhood help identify needs, existing efforts and where support could be useful.
Artists & creators
Creators bring their practice, ideas and perspective. They can take part in an initiative and share it with their own audiences, with clear expectations agreed together.
Community & cultural spaces
Masjids, local organizations, galleries and arts partners bring places to gather, trusted relationships and knowledge of the people they serve.
Hereafter & Mustafa
Hereafter would help bring the work together and develop its public voice. Mustafa’s platform and relationships can connect local efforts with wider participation and support.

There is a place to begin.

Bring what
you know.

A practice. A space. A need you see.
An introduction can be the first step.
