Dear friends,

It’s been a minute. As 2025 — also the birth year of maḳām, the space — comes to a close, I wanted to share a quick update on upcoming events and a few things for 2026.

We’re gathering again soon: there will be a casual #pazar edition on 20.12 from 3–7 pm, with drinks, music, surprise guests, plus books, tapes, and unique little treasures to shop for as last-minute holiday gifts.

A concert and a reading are already confirmed for January and February 2026, alongside other events in planning. I’m especially excited about the solo show by Salome Machaidze in May. More about all these when the time comes.

And a major update! Something I’ve dreamed about for a while — a seed of an idea is about to turn real: I’m launching maḳām editions, an independent publishing imprint, in January 2026. Two titles are already lined up. We’re still ironing out a few details, but I can’t wait to share more very soon.

So — hope to see you on the 20th. Come by, say hi.
