Habibi

Built in 1994 as a glass blowing studio, the building’s name references its roots. Now the venue produces theater, music, comedy, spoken word, educational workshops and more, providing a safe place to create dangerous work. Work that counteracts the passive, the isolating, the distance between people. Come experience joyful creation, partake in brave exploration, meet the person sitting next to you, share about what you’re seeing, buy them a drink. Our goal is to present relevant performing and visual art that is accessible for diverse audiences; art that connects and inspires us, and incites us to leap across cultural boundaries. The Foundry is a holding tank for raw, funny, challenging, empowering work that changes the lens through which we view each other.

As the world starts to re-emerge and awaken, the summer of 2021 is boding to be a hot one and Habibi is ready to dance.

The Foundry West Stockbridge

After being coined by The New Yorker as having “the Colgate white glisten of sixties girl group pop combined with an uncensored edge” for their acclaimed debut album, Habibi broke boundaries by introducing Farsi-sung tunes on their EP &#x27;Cardamom Garden&#x27; that “shed rigid definitions of what constitutes American music” (Pitchfork). In 2020, a month before the world drastically changed, &#x27;Anywhere But Here&#x27;, the group’s prophetic sophomore album was released, prompting NPR’s Robin Hilton to call them a “noir girl-group.” As the world starts to re-emerge and awaken, the summer of 2021 is boding to be a hot one and Habibi is ready to dance.
