It is fantastic to have a co-pilot with which to create interviews that dive deep into the issues that drive our world today. We chose afikra because it is a platform where we can showcase the depth and breadth of experts from the Qatar Foundation ecosystem. Mikey cares deeply about producing thought-provoking conversations that tap into new voices and that go beyond the headlines. I would absolutely recommend afikra to other organizations.

We work with Afikra because they approach each assignment with genuine curiousity. Their approach to work is well-researched, but they are also fans first. They're one of the best homegrown platforms to emerge from the Arab world and they can add depth to any program.

At Fenaa Alawwal we designed an intimate MUNTADA (forum) which aimed to foster thoughtful and impactful conversations about KSA art and cultural scene. Afikra's approach aligns with MUNTADA FAA's mission to create this engaging and dynamic discussions that challenge perspectives and deepen understanding. Their experience in curating dialogues that connect diverse audiences made them an ideal collaborator for us.

I would definitely recommend afikra to other organizations. They have a wide network of diverse voices and creatives that help make in-person events or online podcasts robust, as well as fun and unique! With afikra, it was possible to dive deep into a topic from various angles that really unpacked the subject matter. Not only can afikra dive deep into topics, but they can create experiences with the likes of musical performances!

As the curator of a biannual design event in the Gulf, Afikra was one of the first calls that I made: the previous edition had also partnered with them, and it was a given that it made sense to partner with a content provider capable of connecting people over time, and an audience that was highly receptive to the kind of content we would be creating. There are NO content providers putting out material like Afikra: broad and thoughtfully curated, based in research and experience, rooted in the community, and always engaging. Working with Mikey and the team is painless - they seamlessly integrated into our operations. For anyone working in the cultural/creative/political/historical realm of the SWANA region, or wanting to connect with it, afikra should be at the top of their list.
