About ShikShook

ShikShook is a safe and inclusive party series created by the community, for the community. It’s a space where Arab/SWANA queer folks can connect, express themselves, and uplift one another. At ShikShook, we celebrate nostalgic Arabic tunes, freedom of self-expression, and authenticity. We’re also committed to giving back—a portion of each event’s profits supports urgent and essential causes. Proceeds from this event will directly benefit families across the Middle East.
